Bug Description

Linux xyz 2.6.31-20-generic #58-Ubuntu SMP Fri Mar 12 05:23:09 UTC 2010 i686 GNU/Linux

Have file: ~/.config/terminator/config

After update to terminator 0.90ppa3 new file created: ~/.config/terminator/epic-config with new syntax. After removing my old config:

user@xyz:~$ terminator -v
ConfigBase::load: Unable to open /home/user/.config/terminator/config ([Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/home/user/.config/terminator/config')
terminator 0.90

So I copied epic-config to config and everything starts working. But, after changing things in terminator preferences, the epic-config updated, but config still without changes. After restarting terminator it uses "config", not "epic-config".

So, please:
1. If "config" file have old syntax - backup it and write new "config" with new syntax.
2. If "config" file have new syntax - use it for load settings on start, save settings to it instead of "epic-config".

If I misunderstand something in project development or integrating it to ubuntu, please correct me.

This was a horrible bug I failed to spot as I was making my final changes before release. very sorry about that. I have already fixed it in the development code, but I think in the mean time you could save the config, close terminator and symlink epic-config to config.
It should be "config", but I failed to change the config saving code.

I'll be rushing out a 0.91 release soon to address some of my stupid mistakes.
