XDG_CONFIG_HOME should be ~/.config while CHOICESPATH should be
~/.config/rox.sourceforge.net IMO.

Ah, that's because you've set both variables. From its AppRun:

if [ x"$XDG_CONFIG_HOME" = x"" ] ; then
    if [ x"$CHOICESPATH" = x"" ] ; then
        XDG_CONFIG_HOME="$HOME/.config"
    else
        XDG_CONFIG_HOME=`echo $CHOICESPATH | sed s/:.*//`
    fi
fi
OROBOROX_CONFIG_HOME="$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/$PROG"
export OROBOROX_CONFIG_HOME

I don't think this is The Right Thing To Do. I'll propose an alternative
tomorrow, when I'm less tired, and upload it to svn if people agree it's
an improvement.
