There already are two config files used by Tux Paint.  One is in "/etc/",
the other in "~" (the ".tuxpaintrc" file).

I think for this release, though, tuxpaint-config will simply ignore the
fact that there's a 'global' config file, since really it only exists on
Linux and Unix systems, not Mac or Windows.

And, of course, the MAIN reason for making a GUI to set config options
is because Windows & Mac users don't want to learn how to edit the
config file in a text editor.

Out of curiosity, would there be any reasons a school would decide to switch
from Tux Paint (open source) to Kid Pix 4 (commercial), e.g. due to particular
features TP lacks, but KP4 will have?
