this does not happen with newer builds.
if you want to "fix" your current environment:
System.setProperty("openorb.home","file:///opt/xindice/docs/");
this will then use the HTTP server in Xindice to look for this URL and a
subdirectory called "config" where the config file should be located.
the URL is the "docroot" of the HTTP serer.
