Volti preference window will not show if current dir contains a dir called src

[GoogleCodeExporter]

If volti is launched from a directory that contains a sub-directory called src, 
the preferences window will not show when selected from the right click menu 
and this error is shown:

 Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/volti/menu.py", line 52, in show_preferences
    self.main.preferences.open()
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/volti/preferences.py", line 89, in open
    _PREFERENCES.init_builder()
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/volti/preferences.py", line 119, in init_builder
    self.tree.add_from_file(self.glade)
glib.GError: Failed to open file 'data/preferences.glade': No such file or 
directory

config.py contains this:

         if not os.path.isdir(os.path.join(".","src")):
             for base in ["/usr/share", "/usr/local/share"]:
                 if os.path.isdir(os.path.join(base, self.app_name)):
                     self.res_dir = os.path.join(base, self.app_name)
                     self.locale_dir = os.path.join(base, "locale")
                     break

If a directory called src exists, then res_dir and locale_dir stay set to None, 
so preferences.glade file is not found.

Any reason for the src directory check?

src dir is checked because that way you can start volti when you unpack 
archive, without prior installing, but it needs fixing...Thanks
