XDG usually uses a private directory under /tmp (commonly $TMPDIR as
acquired from PAM). This is a perfectly valid way to do it. It should
be easy for me to modify the patch to use
/tmp/claws-mail-${UID}/${md5sum} for the per-configuration lock socket.

Ricardo's shared configuration directories are unsupportable this way.
Can't have it both ways without giving users the ability to override
CM's behavior via switch or configuration option.
