There's currently an easy way to do that : exporting XDG_DATA_HOME
variable. Have a look at the /tests/debug.sh script and modify it to use
your dropbox folder and use it to launch gtg. It's already used by
several people here I think.

Don't worry : the variable is only changed for the current process so
other software are not affected.

More information about XDG folders can be found here :

I admit that this is still a tricky hack. The reason is simple : we
currently don't support multiple backend. But this is our top priority
for 0.2.
