Thanks for the input, jys. An interesting thing - being somewhat
arbitrary, I chose to revert from darktable 3.2.1 to 3.0.2 on my Linux
machine this morning. Interestingly, I can now see the three new .svg
files in darktable (in the $HOME/.config/darktable directory) and use
them to create watermarks. Thanks for your help and guidance.

OK, I found the watermarks location under

unable to paste the new .svg files into that location. How does one
unlock that structure? I'm a Linux Noob (must admit it).
Quick basic thing to understand: the directories under /usr/share are *system*
directories, where default resources are usually installed alongside the applications
which use them. Admin rights (aka "root") are required to modify them, but this
isn't usually necessary because typically there will be a corresponding location for
*user* resources within your own home directory.
In the case of darktable, essentially everything is in your $HOME/.config/darktable
directory (but sometimes the $HOME/.local/share directory is used by applications for
things that aren't strictly "configuration"). Also, pay attention to tooltips
when hovering over controls in darktable... they often provide useful information. In
this case, the tooltip for the first module widget shows the answer to your question. :-)
