According to the documentation for g_get_user_data_dir, GLib uses CSIDL_LOCAL_APPDATA on Windows. Documentation for the CSIDL_Foo constants is here http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb762494(v=vs.85).aspx. If this location isn't consistent with what a Windows user expects, wouldn't it make more sense to file this bug against GLib?

I'll dig this more and report to glib.. I think this report can be closed (In reply to comment #2) > (In reply to comment #1) > > According to the documentation for g_get_user_data_dir, GLib uses CSIDL_LOCAL_APPDATA on Windows.
