I already put up with the > fact that it crashes a LOT. 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.
