g_get_user_data_dir /home/anthon/.local/share
g_get_user_config_dir /home/anthon/.config
in accordance with the wording in the api and the document referenced
there. On windows data_dir uses CSIDL_PERSONAL where it should use
CSIDL_APPDATA. Perhaps we can do something like
#if WIN32
gnubg_config_dir = g_build_filename(g_get_user_config_dir(), "gnubg", "config");
gnubg_data_dir = g_build_filename(g_get_user_config_dir(), "gnubg", "data");
#else
gnubg_config_dir = g_build_filename(g_get_user_config_dir(), "gnubg");
gnubg_data_dir = g_build_filename(g_get_user_datadir_dir(), "gnubg");
#endif

I've doubled checked on windows and g_get_user_data_dir actually points to
the my documents folder (which is an ideal place to save matches), the
existing g_get_home_dir points to the base user directory which isn't the
place to put files.
So g_get_user_config_dir()/gnubg is the right place for the settings on
windows.
Where do these point to on Unix?

If you do that, I think we should distinguish between
g_get_user_data_dir and g_get_user_config_dir. Otherwise we pollute
the directory structure under unix.

On windows the settings files are currently being stored in the "my

This would mean changing the szHomeDirectory to be
g_get_user_config_dir()
(instead of g_get_home_dir()). I'm not sure where this would point to in
linux.
If I make the change I'll change the copy rc function to copy any
existing
files from the old location to the new.
