Bug Description

Currently the configuration for the launchers is stored in /etc, which isn't good for a few reasons. Mostly, the reason is that the files are expected to be installed by packages and not configured or changed by users. The secondary effect of this is that removing packages doesn't remove the files unless removed with purge. A purge shouldn't be required to remove the launcher.

So, in a nutshell:

  /etc/indicators/messages/applications => /usr/share/indicators/messages/applications/
