Is there a way to properly uninstall zim?
I installed zim on openSuse 11.3 as admin, worked fine (for the admin user)
Then tried to run as regular user, but zim apparently needs write access to some files in the installation directory (is there a way to change this?), so I installed it again, as a regular user, in a user directory, which also worked fine.
Now, whenever I try to start it, I have to explicitly type the path, and it will still try to access files in the original admin installation and then fails to even start up.
=> I'd like to remove the admin version of zim, but I see no uninstall option in setup.py, and manually deleting files (without getting further information) will certainly leave some remainders, since I've no idea where the installation put files, beyond the python directory
=> Bonus points if someone can give me a hint how to make the version installed by the admin work for every user, without allowing write acces to /usr/local/... directories
example (there are many more of these):
File "/usr/local/
raise FileWriteError, _('File is not writable') # T: Error message zim.fs.
