Hrm ... this doesn't seem right.  If you grep the sources, user_home
is only called once, as "user_home user".  In the current user_home.c
code, it *always* returns "GNUstep" from "user_home user", regardless
of GNUstep.conf or gnustep-make ./configure settings.

This bug is here:
http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?func=detailitem&item_id=13866  ... and
I'm pretty sure I reported one to, but I think it was closed for some
reason or another.

Easy enough to strip spaces -- but so much easier to just source the
file.
