[Gtkradiant] GtkRadiant doesn't load entities.def

[Forest Hale]

I'm sorry to say I don't know why it would fail to find the entities file, and I think GTKRadiant reads that from a different location (the install/q3.game/ directory)

Textures and stuff work fine, but GtkRadiant doesn't load the entities.def file (no error message or anything in the console window).

>>> However, GtkRadiant doesn't care about any of those two copies and doesn't load the file. I can open up the pseudo-Q3 mapping environment without any error messages and it shows all textures out of /home/jonas/d/GtkRadiant/install/games/quake3/textures and everything, it's just the entities not being loaded.
