The proposal say:

 /usr/share/blender/2.52/datafiles

and

~/.blender/2.52/datafiles

The datafiles in the same folder that blender is only if you don't
want install Blender, download the file, unpack and run from the same
directory, so it's all the files there (or that is what I understand
from Brecht)

anyway... is this right ? Matt ?
