Bug#506026: ~/.config is _not_ a directory

[Harald Dunkel]

Package: vlc
Version: 0.9.6-1

I get an error message saying

[00000001] main libvlc error: cannot open config file (/home/harri/.config/vlc/vlcrc): Not a directory

According to the FAQs (http://www.videolan.org/doc/faq/en/index.html#id245329)
this is not supposed to happen, but actually I appreciate the idea to
avoid writing yet another application specific config directory to
my $HOME. If only all the other applications would do the same.

I would suggest to support a documented environment variable
pointing to vlc's config directory, using $HOME/.config/vlc just
as the default.
