[Chameleon] Moving custom widget/skin files'

[Paul Spencer]

Joanne,

you are absolutely correct.  The way the code is written, it assumes a 
relative path to the application.  There may be a better way to fix 
this, I'll have to look more closely at the code, but I will file a bug 
and a fix tomorrow...

Cheers

Paul
