Bug Description

According to XDG base dir standard user data is under ~/.local/share. It's xdg_data_home in Python.

In future ~/.screenlets should be moved to ~/.local/share/screenlets. Application should try to move screenlets directory by asking permission from user before moving. Symlink should be added in the place of old directory linking to the new directory. This can be removed after couple of years or so...
