$XDG_CONFIG_HOME

Instead of saving configuration to ~/.googlecl use $XDG_CONFIG_HOME as a base, and then no need for leading dot. Normally $XDG_CONFIG_HOME points to ~/.config, so the actual config folder for googlecl would be:
~/.config/googlecl/

Also consider $XDG_DATA_HOME and $XDG_CACHE_HOME.

sessionType = os.environ.get('DESKTOP_SESSION') gives the current session based on which the location can be decided.

Uploaded a patch, in which the current desktop session is detected if XDG the config dir will be ~/.config/googlecl/ if not ~/.googlecl.
