Generally I put them in the user's $HOME or $HOME/etc directory
with appropriate permissions unless working in a virtual
environement.
Good idea.
What about running a multi-tenant application (for multiple users who
are not also system-users) - cf them logging-on to run their own. It is
appropriate, possibly even "required" to keep Fred's config file,
reports, graphs, logs, etc; separate from Barney's. Ideally they will
not be sub-dirs of the application/package.
