PATCH: Allow different config directories

[Anonymous]

Sorry if this is not the best place to post this, but I am didn't know where else to put it. I am attaching a patch that I created that allow a different configuration directory to be specified instead of ~/.superkaramba. This is very usefull for me where I run  computers with 2 screens at different resolutions and need to move windows around.
Sorry for the noise.

I'll try it out and probably include it in the next version.  Thanks!
