Thanks for responding.  My main issue is to access the file in a
relative path of ~/
Every user has a different path to get to their home folder
/home/<uniqueUserName>/.config/
I want it to access the XML file from a relative ~/.config/
so far it seems I can only hard code the location..
Permissions aren't my main concern right now, as I am making this
application mainly for the desktop at this point, and not necessarily as
a click app, yet, though this could have other uses once I get it pieced
together.
