I think this is exactly the problem Sam is talking about.  Why would  
someone in expert mode want to see a bunch of %$&# dot files in their home  
folder?  Sam has the right idea:  create the folder ~/Library/AppName and  
place whatever crud your app needs to run in there.  A dot file in a  
user's Library folder is at least better than a dot file in a home folder  
(most people don't go to their Library folders very much, but they do go  
to their home a hell of a lot).

Please, app writers:  no more dot files in home folders!  Thank you.
