Bug Description

Runing from latest code in trunk.

If I run

$ CHECKBOX_DATA=/tmp sudo ./bin/checkbox-gtk

still creates the report 'submission.xml' under '.', instead of /tmp

Can you try running sudo with the -E option so that environment variables are preserved:

  $ CHECKBOX_DATA=/tmp sudo -E ./bin/checkbox-gtk

The problem is that the shell script hard code the values for CHECKBOX_DATA and CHECKBOX_SHARE:

export CHECKBOX_DATA=/var/lib/checkbox
export CHECKBOX_SHARE=/usr/share/checkbox

Instead, these variables should support being overwritten by the environment.
