Comment # 7 on bug 6353 from 
1) Are all these variables available on all our platforms (Win/Unix/Linux/OS-X)
and UI toolkits (GTK2/GTK3/QT4/QT5)?
2) Which file in ~/.wireshark/ should go where, and where should we point our
temporary capture files?
3) Wireshark tries to be able to handle old configs. The only time we changed
the directory was renaming the whole project from Ethereal to Wireshark. And
many people would be very surprised if they deleted their config folder and
then the traces started to look subtly different.
4) Just because something calls itself a standard doesn't mean much - and I
personally find the rationale not convincing.

All this makes me currently tend to close this as not-a-bug. Feel free to voice
different optionions. Oh, and if we really classify this as a "real" bug I
still think that fixing it will do more harm than good.
