The Frameworks code in init.cpp, wrapper.cpp and kcrash.cpp says it goes in
QStandardPaths::writableLocation(QStandardPaths::RuntimeLocation).  The Qt
doco says that evaluates to ~/Library/Application\ Support on OSX and
/run/user/<USER> (writable?) on Linux.  I hope that will be OK, safe and reliable…

That location has directories-only on my OS X system, one per app or org.

Cheers, Ian W.
