Description
Regroup every personal configuration folders, in one and only hidden folder in ~ instead of "spamming" /home/user with one hidden folder by application. Create a folder /home/user/.apps/ where applications should place their own configuration folder which allows users to sort easily his home folder :p

I strongly promote this idea as confiurations from
/home/user/Desktop
/home/user/'.hidden'
always interfere with my personal homedir stucture (for example):
/home/user/Business
/home/user/Engineering
/home/user/Library
/home/user/Personal
/home/user/Production
/home/user/Research
/home/user/Resource
/home/user/Temporary
As 'best practice' for now I create users with 'homedir':
/home/user/.apps
or
/home/user/Resource
in passwd and not
/home/user
Then I set /home/user to the users permissions.
chown user /home/user
chgrp group /home/user
This gives users the chance to get all 'homedir bound' applications out of the way (to either /home/user/.apps or /home/user/Resource)
So a devision between hoemedir and applications-dir is done
and this works fine for me.
I guess we have to go forward and discuss this mor.

This problem also has to do with applications such as filezilla that won't respect the convention that files starting with a dot should be hidden by default.
