* Added lockfile support, to prevent Tux Paint from being launched more
than once every 30 seconds. (Disable with "--nolockfile" command-line
argument.) Thanks to Darci Lindgren for suggestion the feature, and
Mark K. Kim for suggesting it be time-based.
(Lockfile is "lockfile.dat" in "~/.tuxpaint/" on Linux/Unix, and
"userdata\" on Windows.)
* Updated Catalan translation.

Only your own configuration file, "~/.tuxpaintrc", if it
exists, will be used.
--nolockfile
By default, Tux Paint uses what's known as a 'lockfile' to
prevent it from being launched more than once in
30 seconds. (This is to avoid accidentally running
multiple copies; for example, by double-clicking a
single-click launcher, or simply impatiently clicking the
icon multiple times.)
To make Tux Paint ignore the lockfile, allowing it to run
again, even if it was just launched less than 30 seconds
ago, run Tux Paint with the '--nolockfile' option on the
command-line.
By default, the lockfile is stored in "~/.tuxpaint/" under
Linux and Unix, and "userdata\" under Windows.
