Bug Description

http://standards.freedesktop.org/basedir-spec/basedir-spec-0.6.html

This standard should be implemented for all ubuntu software (and, ideally, promoted for all other software by ubuntu). A number of packages are already using it, however, ubuntu programs such as update-manager-core are not.

This affects me too. I hate to see ~/.update-manager-core.
