Re: [BUG Investigation]: Other New revelations!

[Lloyd Dupont]

OK, I changed the the directories in GNUstep.conf and it worked.
Being more daring in my endeavor I though: let's make a new GNUstep.conf 
somewhere else in the filesystem and change the value of the environment 
variable GNUSTEP_CONFIG_FILE.

However, ahum... it didn't work. Seems like the configuration has to be at a 
specific place (which kind of defeat its purpose, I should mention).

Still investigating.....
