Hmmm, never thought about it before. If you were working on a
new game, and the file was in your working directory, then it
would be a pain to have it start in ~/.xconq every time, but in
the more common case of a player restarting a saved game,
showing the saved game makes more sense. One could perhaps
be extra-flavorful by offering .xconq if a save.xcq is present,
and the working dir otherwise, but that I can people becoming
superstitious because they can't figure out Xconq asks for
different directories sometimes.
However, I don't have a strong opinion either way, and the
choices are equally easy to implement, so let's vote on it.
If you want it to go one way or the other, send mail to the list!
