For number 2, is it hard-coded to ~/.config or does it read XDG_CONFIG_HOME? The latter is what it should do, so that the user has the flexibility to move all their configs elsewhere.

It's from $HOME so you would want to use the first option

But it's GTK that var is used by some people

Please follow XDG specs and use $XDG_CONFIG_HOME instead of $HOME/.config. $HOME/.config could be a fallback if $XDG_CONFIG_HOME isn't set. :)
