You can change this by defining the XTRKCADLIB environment variable before starting XTrkCad.

${HOME}/.xtrkcad/ - XTrkCad Working directory, which contains the pre-user configuration files.
Layout files (*.xtc) and export files (*.xti) can be saved anywhere you wish, as specified in the Save File
and Open File dialogs.
Example layouts can be found in /usr/local/lib/xtrkcad/examples/.
