	Why not use the Almighty Default? :-)

	Just create a default notebook (called "Notebook") and place it
somewhere reasonable. You can warn users afterwards that you have already
created a notebook such and such, but the main point is that they'll be able
to start using Zim without answering "complex" questions. Most users won't
care if their notebook is in "~/.zim", "~/.notebooks", or whatever. Just do
it and let them start to play ASAP.
