Security issues?

I think it would be quite cool if

 uic.load( ffado.widgets.mixer, self )

loaded the ffado/widgets.mixer.ui the same as

 import ffado.widgets.mixer

imports ffado/widgets/mixer.py(c), regardless whether its local (ie. relative) 
found or "only" system-wide.

Currently I created an own function which knows about the install path (which 
is inside the standard python library paths. Well, to be exact, my function 
first checks if the desired ui-file is reachable via relative paths when a 
developer is testing ffado-mixer without installing it. Only if that doesn't 
work, the absolute installation path is used.

Have fun,

Arnold
