I don't know where giftui puts its files, because I've not used it.
However, they way I do it with common directories is with bash aliases.
Like this:
myapps='cd /root/my-applications'
hdc5='cd /mnt/hdc5'
If I have time tonight, I'll start a discussion on using and creating bash aliases.
Another very easy technique is to use ROX, find the directory, create ROX link by dragging and dropping the directory to the desktop.

I'm sorry, I misunderstood your question. Duh.
I change directory locations quite often.
Take for example, Thunderbird. I want a common email location for all the installed OSes. I achieve this with links.
For an example, I could move the files in /root/.thunderbird say on /mnt/hda5/email.
Then I make a link like this.
ln -s /mnt/hda5/mail /root/.thunderbird
ln is for making links
-s says I want a soft link
/mnt/hda5/mail is the actual location of the directory
/root/.thunderbird is the name and location of the link that points to /mnt/hda5/mail
Linux is pretty flexible with things like this.

> was there more?
Well yes, I think there is more (if you are not satisified with less), but it ain't in the instruction manual.
* Copy (or make links) the nphelix* files from the RealPlayer/mozilla directory to your Firefox and Mozilla plugin directories.
* I edit /etc/profile and add this line:
export HELIX_LIBS=/usr/local/RealPlayer
takes effect after reboot
* type which realplay on the command line, if it doesn't display the location of realplay, that means that realplay is not in your path. Make a link
ln -s /usr/local/RealPlayer/realplay /root/my-applications/bin/realplay
* type which realplay again, if it doesn't show up, I guess I did something wrong.
Then test it on a reaplayer supported media file.

[~]
I want to know more about the file which. Note that It is a link to a file called busybox
[~] ls -l /usr/bin/which
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 12 Jun 8 15:31 /usr/bin/which -> /bin/busybox*
I want to see the help for ln
