[Shotwell] Change location of .shotwell directory (incl. database)

[Vera Yin]

Hi Valeri,

Which version of Ubuntu are you running? I would recommend upgrading
to the latest version of Shotwell, 0.8.1, as described on our website:

http://yorba.org/shotwell/install/

The -d switch for specifying database location has been available
since Shotwell 0.6.

Cheers,
Vera
