Description
There's a freedesktop standard that says that you should use a folder underneath ~/.config/, such as ~/.config/VirtualBox.
More and more applications are switching to this methodology to make configuration migrations easier, please do the same.
The exact standard paper is (which tells you to first check the value of the env var $XDG_CONFIG_HOME): http://standards.freedesktop.org/basedir-spec/basedir-spec-0.6.html
