SV: Using: g_key_file_load_from_file() in homedir

[Nikolaj Kiær Thygesen <Nikolaj Thygesen ciber dk>]

Yep, that worked - thanx. I never knew that "~" was a shell thing :o) "g_get_home_dir()" is a good thing, so 
all we need now is a way to find the installation path of a binary like "progdir:" on the Amiga :o) Yes, I 
know about the "search path" function in glib, but it just ain't quite as cool :o)

        br - N :o)

char *path;

path = g_build_filename (g_get_home_dir (),
                         ".DiamondBOX/Diamond.settings",
                         NULL);
/* GKeyFileCode ... */
g_free (path);
