Uhmmmm... I don't like too much that one.
I have upp (devel) in ~/sources/uppdev, so theide don't find config anymore.
In Linux is usual to keep config files on a per-user basis in its home dir as before.
IMHO, the best would be (as sometimes in windows) to keep configs on the dir where app resides (I know, now Linux purists will shoot me  ), pity that on unix there's no reliable way (AFAIK) to find the path where app resides and, more, usually that path is owned by root, so not writeable.
At the end, the best way would be :
1) Keep theide executable in /usr/bin
2) Keep upp sources somewhere in /opt/upp
3) Keep MyApps (and user files...) somewhere inside user home dir
4) Config files should stay on user home dir.
On an user view, on first ide run cfg files, samples, maybe references AND MyApps folders should be copied somewhere in user home path, maybe asking user where.
There also should be the possibility to run thede with different config files, in order to keep the ability to run more versions of theide.
The *best* would be a common (user) cfg file containing more profiles. For example :
<default>
test
stable
devel
myprofile1
myprofile2
Each giving different configs. You could then run
with default profile; or
with 'myprofile1' configs.
There should also be some profile manager on theide itself.
It looks (maybe) complicated, but it's done for example in AutoCAD and it works quite well.
That could be done both on windows and Linux sides.

EDIT : Now I've seen how it works and it's not bad at all
Cfg files are kept as before with executable names (ide, theide, ecc...), but without initial dot (.) and in ~/.upp, so
instead of
as before.
That's similar of what I meant, besides the lack of ability to give a profile when executable is run.
I'll put a little howto in next svn update.
Ciao
Max

Sorry for deficient description. But "root" and ".upp" I have of course meant "~" and "~/.upp".

Actually, GetExeDirFile already works in Linux. But just as you say, this is not a good idea, if nothing else because of read-only....

Actually, that change was meant about config files only, was not theide specific. It was dealing with general complaing about poluting ~ with many upp app config ".folders".

P.S.: OK, next time I will read the whole message before replying

QtCurve fixed.
Quick fix:
CtrlLib/ChGtk.cpp 826
if(!popup) {
gtk_widget_style_get(bar, "shadow_type", &shadowtype, NULL);
GtkWidget *item = gtk_menu_item_new();
gtk_menu_shell_append(GTK_MENU_SHELL(bar), item);
gtk_widget_realize(item);
popup = gtk_menu_new();
gtk_menu_item_set_submenu(GTK_MENU_ITEM(item), popup);
gtk_widget_realize(popup);
GTK_MENU_SHELL(bar)->active = true;
}
(Some day I will make those doubled scrollbar arrows work too

Yes, this looks good, thank you.
About the scrollbars, i modified the default QtCurve settings in config_file.c so that the appearance is round as with Clearlooks.
If that some day comes when you are implementing the double arrows also take a look at the shape of the arrows (upp draws them now the same as firefox).
