Bug#892797: sasview: should look for data files in home dir not package dir

Package: sasview
Version: 4.2.0~git20180309-2
Severity: normal

Currently when using the gui interface to open a new data file, the
"Choose a file" dialog window starts from the package directory, 
/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/sas/sasview.

Of course no data files will be found there.  The dialog should be
configured to start from the user's home dir (or recently used, or
somesuch).
