Well, it is common to set PATH like this:
PATH="$HOME/bin:$PATH"
you find this in ~/.profile or ~/.bashrc on many distros.
I didn't find documentaion about this though.
Anyway the problem is if one do this with XDG_DATA_HOME and trash files
from different directories, a copy of his home directory will be done in
each of those directories under literally "$HOME/user".
If you consider this is fine and normal you can close this bug report.
Thanks.
