Bug Description

I downloaded byobu 2.129
Did

./configure --prefix=$HOME/.local
make
make install

~/.local/bin is in my $PATH.

Now start byobu.

Hit F1

Go to 'Toggle status notifications'

And it crashes with a complaint about a bad configuration.

The workaround I've come up with is to set BYOBU_CONFIG_DIR. I put

export BYOBU_CONFIG_DIR=$HOME/.byobu

into ~/.byoburc, and now things are working.
