Sorry, I mixed up `.cache` and `.config` in the bug description (corrected).

I originally found this problem referring to the users CACHE directory. But as ibus needs both, .cache and .config, it is to be expected that the same problem appears when users' CONFIG is relocated (wich is as easily possible as CACHE).

The relevant environment variables from the freedesktop specification are (see https://specifications.freedesktop.org/basedir-spec/latest/ar01s03.html):

- $XDG_CACHE_HOME (defaults to ~/.cache)
- $XDG_CONFIG_HOME (defaults to ~/.config)

Both must be taken care of, as there are valid reasons for setting them to non-standard locations, esp. in networking environments.
