Two related fixes:

- The code for setting the working directory to $HOME was both incorrect
and in the wrong place, fixed.
- On OSX the default location for IDE scripts is now
$HOME/Library/Python/IDE-Scripts.

Together, these solve the problem that some people had (but, curiously
enough, only some) that the IDE crashed at startup because it couldn't
create "/Scripts".
