As a workaround you can use the command line interface and the launcher
game to set the projects directory.

For example:

  renpy-launcher set_projects_directory ~/projects/

Unfortunately the configuration data is effectively the save game data
for the launcher game, so I don't think it is possible to manage the
data reliably as part of the system configuration.

Thanks,
Morgan
