Telegram won't start when ran as a normal user, complaining that it cannot open
files under ~/.local/share for writing. Details are as follows.

$ freebsd-version ; uname -a
11.1-RELEASE
FreeBSD FreeBSD-PC 11.1-RELEASE FreeBSD 11.1-RELEASE #0 r321309: Fri Jul 21
02:08:28 UTC 2017     root at releng2.nyi.freebsd.org:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC
 amd64

The package is installed via pkg.

Error log from Telegram (inside a crash dialog):

Note that /home/jsteward/.local/share/TelegramDesktop doesn't exist here.

My home as well as ~/.local/share just have normal permissions (i.e. 0755).

If running `telegram-desktop` as root, things go smoothly and I successfully
get a greeter screen.

I've opened a issue at GitHub as well.
