The config is stored in a shell-style file to make it easier to read in
a shell script:
cat ~/.config/user-dirs.dirs
# This file is written by xdg-user-dirs-update
# If you want to change or add directories, just edit the line you're
# interested in. All local changes will be retained on the next run
# Format is XDG_xxx_DIR="$HOME/yyy", where yyy is a shell-escaped
# homedir-relative path, or XDG_xxx_DIR="/yyy", where /yyy is an
# absolute path. No other format is supported.
#
XDG_DESKTOP_DIR="$HOME/Skrivbord"
XDG_DOWNLOAD_DIR="$HOME/Hämtat"
XDG_TEMPLATES_DIR="$HOME/Templates"
...
For some historical reason env vars (PATH, HOME, etc) are all caps, so I
just followed suit.
