[Qgis-developer] configuration lost when running 2.0

On Linux the settings are in ~/.config/QGIS/QGIS2.conf

To get the latest (if you've been running QGIS 2.0 already two weeks 
ago) copy them from ~/.config/QuantumGIS/QGIS2.conf
If you have not been using master so far (I know that you did, but 
maybe others, and especially users upgrading once stable) copy from 
~/.config/QuantumGIS/QGIS.conf

You've lost the config twice due to renaming from QuantumGIS to QGIS
once:
~/.config/QuantumGIS/QGIS.conf > ~/.config/QuantumGIS/QGIS2.conf
and again:
~/.config/QuantumGIS/QGIS2.conf > ~/.config/QGIS/QGIS2.conf
