Nope.  At least it doesn't help as far as I can tell.  It is a bit confusing 
though.  It talks about $HOME/.gnucash and $HOME/.local/share/gnucash and I am 
not totally sure which is correct for V4.14.  I have determined that 
$HOME/.local/share/gnucash/ is used for stylesheets-2.0, since that file in 
that location gets updated after I fire up gnucash and exit.  It just doesn't 
appear the config-user.scm ever gets loaded.
