Alas, I do not believe this is correct.  They custom report
configurations are stored in a per-user config-file (I believe
~/.gnucash/custom-reports-<vers>).  However, they can contain
datafile-specific configurations.  What this means is that if you rename
your datafile the custom reports should remain.  However, if you open a
new datafile (B) your custom reports for the original datafile (A) will
still be in the menu, and if you run them they will not work properly.
