<p>Only your own configuration file, "<code>~/.tuxpaintrc</code>",
if it exists, will be used.</p>

<dd>
<p>By default, Tux&nbsp;Paint uses what's known as a 'lockfile'
to prevent it from being launched more than once in 30&nbsp;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.)</p>
<p>To make Tux&nbsp;Paint ignore the lockfile, allowing it to
run again, even if it was just launched less than 30&nbsp;seconds
ago, run Tux&nbsp;Paint with the '<code>--nolockfile</code>' option
on the command-line.</p>
<p>By default, the lockfile is stored in
"<code>~/.tuxpaint/</code>" under Linux and Unix,
and "<code>userdata\</code>" under Windows.</p>
