CellProfiler/CellProfiler — Issue #68: JIRA [IMG-1488] Error msg on reading home folder between CP release and svn head

I'm not sure if this is a big deal, but ...
I commonly switch between using the CP release (r10997) and svn head for work. Since the unicode upgrade, opening the release throws attached msg upon startup.The Default folders have extra slashes included. The same occurs when opening the Preferences.
If I open CP from svn head, the terminal shows a msg to the effect of"WARNING:cellprofiler.preferences:Warning: current path of C:UsersmbrayDesktop is not a valid directory. Switching to home directory." The default folders have slashes omitted.
This is not a show-stopper by any means; just an annoyance. However, it makes me wonder if users who will be upgrading for the next release will be transitioned to unicode seamlessl, or if they need to revert for some reason whether they'll get thrown off..

It's not backward compatible. I suppose I could store the new values
using new keys and then it would be.
