integrated a patch by Lionel Dricot to follow XDG specs

 

Hi,

Lionel Dricot contributed a patch in his bugreport LP: #262697. PyRoom
now follows xdg specifications about the location of config- and data
directories in users' homedirs, i.e. configuration goes to
~/.config/pyroom/ and data (think themes) goes to
~/.local/share/pyroom/.

This is only he default setting, developers could for example override
those directorie locations during development to switch their config
directories by setting environment variables XDG_DATA_HOME and
XDG_CONFIG_HOME.

While this creates a dependency to the external library python-xdg, most
modern distributions ship it (e.g. ubuntu does by default).

Please remember to copy your pyroom.conf from ~/.pyroom/ to
~/.config/pyroom/pyroom.conf and your themes to ~/.local/share/pyroom/
if you're running trunk in production use.
