Description

Hi there, it's not a big deal, but the Linux Electron app for Element is kind of making a mess with its config directory(s). Obviously when it was called "Riot" it created a `~/.config/Riot`. But now since the rename it has also created `~/.config/Element (Riot)` and `~/.config/Element`, but it doesn't really seem to use them. The last two directories both contain a `sso-sessions.json` file and an empty `Dictionaries` directory.
