How can I get rid of the ~/gPodder directory, and tell gpodder to keep
its config files in ~/.config/gpodder , as any well behaved applications
would do ?
By reading the README file, as any well behaved user would do.

[ CHANGING THE DOWNLOAD DIRECTORY ]
The run-time environment variable GPODDER_DOWNLOAD_DIR is used to
set the location for storing the downloads only (independent of the
data directory GPODDER_HOME):
export GPODDER_DOWNLOAD_DIR=/media/BigDisk/Podcasts/
In this case, the database and settings will be stored in the default
location, with the downloads stored in /media/BigDisk/Podcasts/.
Another example would be to set both environment variables:
export GPODDER_HOME=~/.config/gpodder/
export GPODDER_DOWNLOAD_DIR=~/Podcasts/
This will store the database and settings files in ~/.config/gpodder/
and the downloads in ~/Podcasts/. If GPODDER_DOWNLOAD_DIR is not set,
$GPODDER_HOME/Downloads/ will be used if it is set.
