[Seaside] Changing the default resources directory

[Carl Gundel]

Michel,

Your suggestion below worked for me with Seaside v2.6, but not with v2.7. 
Even though I change the path in the prescribed way (manually changing the 
configParameters) it still tries to get the file from the old path, and if I 
try to change the home directory from the Web Toolkit web interface Seaside 
just breaks.  This is what I saw after setting the path to be '.' using the 
web interface.  I have to reboot my image to recover.  Any ideas?

Unhandled exception: ERROR_PATH_NOT_FOUND 
("c:\vw7.4.1\bin\win\go\runbasicpersonal")
