      QStandardPaths::ConfigLocation does take into account ApplicationName and OrganizationName on Windows but doesn't on Linux.

      main.cpp
      #include <QCoreApplication>
#include <QStandardPaths>
#include <QDebug>

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
    QCoreApplication a(argc, argv);

    qDebug("%s", qPrintable(QStandardPaths::writableLocation(QStandardPaths::ConfigLocation)));

    a.setApplicationName("AppName");
    a.setOrganizationName("OrgName");

    qDebug("%s", qPrintable(QStandardPaths::writableLocation(QStandardPaths::ConfigLocation)));

    return 0;
}
