I always start by running the problem program from a bash prompt so I can
look for error messages. Then I check any config files in my ~/ directory,
usually using grep -ir to check for the name of the program or other strings
that the program would probably use for config stuff.
If that doesn't turn up anything useful I resort to running the program
with strace to see which files it's trying to open. I think most newer
programs use gui file dialogs when you are asked to specify a default
directory, but a few older ones may ask you to type in a directory name
from the keyboard, and it's easy to misspell something.
