Re: using relative paths (for images) needs default-directory gaoled

[John Harper <jsh unfactored org>]

If the only reason for this is so you can run sawfish uninstalled, I 
don't think it's a good idea to add that variable to the sandbox - 
especially since it's involved in I/O

also, I don't understand why it doesn't already work as intended - 
image-load-path should include the absolute path to the theme 
directory..?
