[Xastir-dev] Why change working directory?

I had a surprise recently trying to import a log file.  I assumed that
since I had started xastir while in my home directory that I could
import a file from my home directory without specifying the full
path.  It turns out that entering "log.txt" causes xastir to look in
"~/.xastir/log.txt".  Also, core files generated by xastir end up in
~/.xastir/ on my system.  This strongly implies that we change the
working directory in the system.  Any particular reason?

Oh, and on a side note -- lots of changes were discussed to permit
using user-specific maps directories in addition to system map
directories.  Was this ever fully implemented?

Jack.
