Thanks, John!

I discovered a couple bugs during testing.  It appears the Windows
Korean IME grabs the Right-Alt event and not letting Tux Paint switch
into the Hangul mode.  I think I'll make Left-Alt switch to Hangul mode
also, so Left-Alt can be used when Windows won't pass Right-Alt events.

Also, a certain key sequence is crashing Tux Paint in Korean language
mode.  I'll need to fix that.

Something I realized is that the path loading of *.im files is
hard-coded at compile-time, which doesn't work very well for Windows
programs that needs to be able to run from any drive/path
(C:\Program Files\ can be moved.)  Yet *.im files are loading fine at
runtime, regardless of where it's run from.  Is this intentional, and
how does this work?  If not, why does it work?! =P

Thank you again, John!
