    Call mkdir before relying on directories
    
    If you need a file in a local directory, you need to call mkdir first.
    This bug has been around for a while, both openSUSE and kubuntu have
    patches applied to ignore the error. But fixing it instead sounds much
    more appealing - it's easy to ignore though as it will go away once
    some other code creates ~/.local/share for Trash.
