OK, I have created a new stylesheet renderer, but how to I get it into the 
menus?

I have this in ~/.local/share/gnucash/config.user:

;; Hacked from: /usr/local/share/guile/site/3.0/gnucash/report/stylesheets/footer.scm
(load "/home/heller/gnucash/dws-stylesheet.scm")

;; copied and hacked from ~/.local/share/gnucash/stylesheets-2.0
(let ((template (gnc:html-style-sheet-template-find "DWS")))
  (if template 
    (let ((options ((gnc:html-style-sheet-template-options-generator template)))) 

 (gnc:restore-html-style-sheet "Deepwoods Software Stylesheet" "DWS" options))))

But my stylesheet is not showing up anywhere... not getting any errors or 
messages (other then telling me about finding Finance::Quote version 1.51).

(Is ~/.local/share/gnucash/config.user the correct file to put the load in?)
