There was a 'config.auto' already there and no config.user.

OK, I've put the "(load-from-path
"/home/heller/gnucash/stylesheet-dws.scm")" into config.user and now I'm
getting this error message:

sauron.deepsoft.com% gnucash                                            
       Backtrace:
In current input:
   1: 0* [gnc:report-menu-setup]
   ?: 1  (letrec (# # # ...) (gnc:add-extension income-expense-menu) ...)
In /usr/share/gnucash/guile-modules/gnucash/report/report-gnome.scm:
 112: 2* [gnc:add-extension #(menu "_Income & Expense" "" ...)]
In unknown file:
   ?: 3* gnc:extension-type

<unnamed port>: In expression gnc:extension-type:
<unnamed port>: Unbound variable: gnc:extension-type

What do I bind gnc:extension-type to?  It is NOT bound or referenced
anywhere in any of the existing stylesheet code (or in fact anywhere in
the scheme code (according to grep anyway).

I'm using 2.0.1 (on CentOS 4.5, installed from the RHEL 4 RPMs):
sauron.deepsoft.com% gnucash -v
GnuCash 2.0.1
Built 2006-08-23 from r14585
sauron.deepsoft.com% rpm -q gnucash
gnucash-2.0.1-4.rhel4

It is the modified stylesheet scheme code.  I just wanted to verify
that the changes I made were all correct.
