export PROTON_LOG_DIR="/path/to/dir"
To one of the files in /etc/profile.d (I just stuck it in the file I use to set variables for mesa)
I first commented out my line in user_settings.py and logged right off my user and back.
Now, I hadn't thought of this earlier either, but I log in to the shell first and use "startx", I don't use graphical login managers. I guess where this "depends on the distro" is if you use some graphical login manager and the distributor hasn't set it up to source /etc/profile (which itself should source the parts in /etc/profile.d)
If I had some silly distro ignoring my shell environment, I'd probably add "source /etc/profile" to the init script or unit that starts the login manager :-)
