I think moving them is a good idea, but it should be made obvious that
this is happening, so that folks know what's going on.

This has been brought up in the past.  I think for Tux Paint 0.9.15
I will FINALLY listen to all you folks, and make the data pathes dynamic.

Can you give more info?  (The DEBUG option might help, and then run
Tux Paint from Terminal.app or somesuch...)

Oh shoot, I didn't notice when I tested it just now, but thanks. :)

Or was it specific to the Mac OS X build process?
