Summary: Settings directory location wrongly displayed in options

Initial Comment:
Visual Bug.

Running under Windows XP:

In the options window under "Directories", it says the 
settings directory would be "default\", although it 
cleary stores in the same directory as it stores the 
save game directory.

This is a misinterpretation of the meaning of the "settings
directory".  The settings dir is not the location of
config.xml, but is the location of the default game content
(art, sound, game content files).  config.xml is stored in a
non-configurable location: 

../Documents and Settings/WindowsUserName/Application
Data/FreeOrion/

The default saves directory is in /save in the above
directory, but can be changed, though changing it does not
affect the location of config.xml.

The name of the "settings directory" should be clarified in
an future version (and SVN commits soon)
