Logically this makes sense to me. Unfortunately it's also a compatibility
break with the possibility to be very subtle and annoying. I think what you
should do, and even perhaps what we should do by default or recommend, is to
lock the existing preferences in IMP and Kronolith and use a preferences
hook to retrieve the Turba default_dir value when those prefs are
requested.

Think we can resolve this ticket?
