I'm relieved to hear it!  My apologies Andrew!

It was 7.  For last umpteen years I've preserved my /home directory
when installing new versions of my distro.  This time around I changed
distros and decided to get start fresh with a clean /home directory
too.  It had been so long, the thought that it is configurable never
entered my mind!  I guess I panic when it comes to apps that I depend
on.  Sorry!
