Bug Description

If the ~/.rednotebook directory does not already exist, RedNotebook raises an
exception when trying to initialise logging:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/rednotebook", line 7, in <module>
    import rednotebook.redNotebook
  File "/usr/share/rednotebook/rednotebook/redNotebook.py", line 55, in <module>
    filemode='w',
  File "/usr/lib/python2.5/logging/__init__.py", line 1240, in basicConfig
    hdlr = FileHandler(filename, mode)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.5/logging/__init__.py", line 770, in __init__
    stream = open(filename, mode)
IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/home/jona/.rednotebook/rednotebook.log'

The attached patch checks at startup whether the directory exists, and creates
it if necessary just before loading the core redNotebook module.
