I hoped to actually pull information from the file being changed as
well; when looking at the log, it would be nice to see a brief
description of the calendar or card entry listed, but just getting
user agent information is pretty nice.

We could have a configuration value that just says 'use xdg compliant
paths' and make that 'false' by default for now, but put a warning in
suggesting that people move things by hand and set the value to
'true'. Then create a script to set calypso up for a new user; this
script would create things in the xdg-compliant spot and set the config
value to 'true'. Eventually, we'd change the default.
