These ones are all following the operating system's guidance for
storing local configuration. Is this an issue? I'd expect most of the
configuration inside the user profile to be storing relative paths to
the profile folder, not absolute. If not, do you have examples of
settings which store absolute paths?

Can you elaborate again on why this change break things? Do some
settings have these paths hardcoded in?

I'll forward you Aleix Pol's email off-list. He's very responsive and
extremely knowledgeable about flatpack!
