I use something like this..

    filename = g_strdup_printf("%s/%s", g_get_user_config_dir(),context);
    if (!g_file_test(filename, G_FILE_TEST_IS_DIR)) {
        g_mkdir_with_parents(filename, 0775);
    }
    g_free(filename);

    store->keyfile = g_key_file_new();
    filename = g_strdup_printf("%s/%s/%s.conf",
g_get_user_config_dir(),context,context);
    g_key_file_load_from_file(store->keyfile,
                              filename,
                              G_KEY_FILE_KEEP_COMMENTS |
G_KEY_FILE_KEEP_TRANSLATIONS, NULL);
