This is related, but not the same. #418826 caused the applet to create
the config-file once in /root, once in /etc/, ... wherever I was when
I started tomcat the last time.
When tomcat is started on startup with the original script, the applet
tries to write into /var/lib/tomcat5.5. So we tried to find a way
with the same behaviour when I start tomcat manually. And our solution
was to enter the "cd"-command.
