Short version: if the Linux viewer can't find the cache
directory (even if empty), it will crash immediately,
without providing any helpful error message.

This happened to me after I moved the cache location
to a secondary partition, and ran the viewer while the
partition wasn't mounted.

As a viewer user, I'd like to get a meaningful error
message in such a situation.
