I just tested this with an alternate config ("-c path/file").  If
the lines are in there but the path/file is blank, then the
operation is as you describe.  If the "LOGFILE_TNC:" etc. lines are
removed from the config file entirely, then Xastir will recreate
them with defaults the next time it is run.

I suppose we should check them for the empty string though and
recreate them in that case as well.  More than likely there are
other strings that should also be handled in a similar manner.
