Upgrade issues due to config file changes from 1.3 to 1.4

[Andrew Starr-Bochicchio]

andrew@andrew-laptop:~$ python /usr/bin/stackapplet/stackapplet.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/stackapplet/prefs_dialog.py", line 123, in OnOK
    prefs.save_settings()
  File "/usr/bin/stackapplet/config_store.py", line 83, in save_settings
    f = open(CONFIG_FILE_NAME,'w')
IOError: [Errno 20] Not a directory: '/home/andrew/.stackapplet/config'

At first, I assumed you weren't testing for the dir correctly, but looking at the code it seems you do. So I tried creating the file by hand to see if it would work.

andrew@andrew-laptop:~$ mkdir -p /home/andrew/.stackapplet/
mkdir: cannot create directory `/home/andrew/.stackapplet/': File exists

So the problem is that in version 1.3 the config file is "~/.stackapplet", but in 1.4, the config file is "~/.stackapplet/config" Which mean the new dir won't be created unless the old file is moved out of the way.

This is a known issue. The plan is to have StackApplet check to see if the 1.3 conf. file exists when it first starts - and if it does, import the settings, rename / delete the file, and continue loading.
