Bug Description

I've tried pyRenamer 0.6.0 on Ubuntu 8.10
and it seems that pyRenamer places its configuration file (.pyRenamer) in
/home directory which doesn't match FreeDesktop directories specs :

The default for $XDG_CONFIG_HOME is $HOME/.config, the default for
$XDG_DATA_HOME is $HOME/.local/share. So all applications should look for
those environment variables and use those default values if the variables
are not set.

This is quite important since it's not possible to easily backup config
& data files if these files are not stored at the right place
