[Geany] Quirks mode

Wed Feb 16 01:05:00 UTC 2011

By the way, I've always thought it was way to easy to figure out how to fill 
out the Preferences template, and tonight, I found out just how hard and 
time-consuming it is to figure out the actual file templates are in 
/usr/share/geany. I think where the manual mentions ~/.config/geany, it should 
also mention /usr/share/geany because I finally located those templates with a 
terminal before clicking on the "Config file paths" link b/c that looked like it 
was going to explain ~/.config/geany.
