root owned sources.list left in $executionDirectory/conf

[KarlGoetz]

When EasyUbuntu is run, apart from the (expected) .pyc files being created, it also leaves behind a conf directory, with a root owned sources.list in it.
Apart from being somewhat messy, this also leads to the directory EasyUbuntu is launched from not being deleteable from the users trash.
I asume this will be less of a problem when EasyUbuntu is installed, not just downloaded and run, but i still thought its worth a meantion

I could not fix this issue due to some weirdness in shell from which easyubuntu was launched (login vs nologin).

Retargeting for EasyUbuntu 3.1

The EasyUbuntu in trunk has no /conf/ directory - this effectively makes
this bug void, unless /conf is added back in

This patch is one possible solution to this issue: it just deletes the config directory and sources.list inside it, so no root-owned files remain (and the user can delete EU normally).

Deleting seems reasonable to me because the directory&file are generated each time anyhow.

I'm not very happy with the deleting solution, because it leads to difficulties while debugging. Let me try to fix this issue at source :)

Ok, I see what you mean.
