Well, FindDirectory.h at least here has both
B_USER_DIRECTORY -> ~/
B_USER_CONFIG_DIRECTORY -> ~/config
now depending on your app's behaviour, those files are supposed to be 
documents or settings...
settings goes in ~/config/settings/
documents goes to... no idea.
Would B_USER_DATA_DIRECTORY be some kind of "MyDocuments" ?
in that case, would it be useful to have subtopics in there 
(MyPictures, MyMusic...)
