Sounds very wise. Probably with "all _caches_" you mean all app-global caches. E.g. data caches like http caches, html5 app cache content, icon db, etc. probably should stay at datalocation, as they may leak app-specific info.

Also need to probably hardcode the caches path to ~/.appname/caches or something if the qdesktopservices is not available (the ifdef part)..

And hope that the cachelocation call produces desired results on symbian..
