I've got all that working already, but not committed.

In my version, it's currently called `~/.jamin/jamin_ui'. The default
system file is `${prefix}/share/jamin/examples/jamin_ui'. I also
moved all the pixmaps to `${prefix}/share/jamin/pixmaps'.
I could be convinced differently, but I currently don't do what you
suggest. (The `~/.jamin' directory *is* created automatically, Steve
already did that in 0.7.7.) My feeling is that users who do not
modify the jamin_ui file should get any new updates to the default
when installing a new version of JAMin. So, if they have no local
copy I use the system one by default, but don't copy it. I think
people who want to edit a file like that can copy it themselves. The
man page can explain what to do.
I am also thinking that it would be a good idea to load a per-user
default session from `~/.jamin/default.jam', only using the system
default if this file does not exist. This would be overriden by the
-f parameter, of course.
