That looks correct.  You made this modification to the standalone.conf file 
before configuring/building gnustep-base?  If so I'd have thought it ought be 
putting stuff in .config/GNUstep/Defaults
Perhaps there's some bug though ... I'll look into it.

Another setting you might want to use instead (I'd forgotten about it until I 
looked in the configuration file documentation) is 
'GNUSTEP_USER_DEFAULTS_DIR=:INTERNAL:'

You can put it in standalone/GlobalDefaults.plist (again, this is mentioned in 
the configuration file part of the Base documentation).
