Which aspect of LXDE creates the ~/.cache directory? /etc/skel creates
these first three:
$ ls -a1
.
..
.bash_logout
.bashrc
.profile
But then these others are added when LXDE is run the first time:
$ ls -a1
.
..
.bash_logout
.bashrc
.cache
.config
.dbus
Desktop
.dmrc
Documents
Downloads
.gconf
.local
Music
Pictures
.profile
Public
Templates
Videos
.Xauthority
.xscreensaver
.xsession-errors
The reason I ask is so that the creation process can be changed to add a
CACHEDIR.TAG file [1] which can be used by GNU tar [2] to automatically
exclude that directory if the user so wishes.

[1] The CACHEDIR.TAG file is explained here:

[2] Don't bother looking in the manual page for tar(1) It is
incomplete and does not explain the CACHEDIR.TAG file.
