Interesting, in Ubuntu 13.04 I was using autokey-qt (which used json as a 
data-store for things you added to autokey).  As I mentioned, autokey-qt won't 
launch for me in Ubuntu 13.10:

However, I see that autokey-gtk uses files and folders to store data
(not a single JSON file). Both are pretty cool approaches in my opinion.
I love JSON, but I also like how files and folders can map this same
data in a way that can be retrieved easily (even if auto key isn't
running) by navigating the file system.

Given that I've just realized these different approaches. I suspect my
deletion problem in autokey-gtk is likely do to some permissions issue
resulting from the fact that I'm launching autokey-gtk as a startup
application (rather than manually launching it).

Are there changes that can be made to the package that would prevent
this issue? In Ubuntu 13.04, I launched autokey-qt as a startup
application, and it never had an issue deleting nodes from within its
json file. So, one advantage to the json method is that you only have to
worry about the permissions of one single file versus a recursive
directory of many files and folders.
