That page should be treated as a key to resolve pathnames. As they are 
different on each 
platform, you have to recursively assemble the answer yourself.

Easiest is to start from the file you want to store somewhere. In your initial 
mail you 
mentioned "config.user". If you search for that file name on the wiki page, 
you'll find a note 
mentioning this file has been renamed to "config-user.scm" in the subsection 
"In 
GNC_CONFIG_HOME" of section "Files". So you now know your file should be named 
"config-
user.scm" and that it goes in GNC_CONFIG_HOME (whatever that means).

To resolve that, you can look in the page index for GNC_CONFIG_HOME (it has its 
own 
section). In that section you will learn GNC_CONFIG_HOME on linux resolves to 
"USER_CONFIG_HOME/gnucash". Again with whathever USER_CONFIG_HOME may mean.

To continue resolving the path you can click directly on "USER_CONFIG_HOME" to 
learn that 
on linux that's equivalent to "$HOME/.config".

Putting that all together then yields

$HOME/.config/gnucash.config-user.scm

config-user.scm is only needed if you are loading user-supplied Scheme.

It belongs in $HOME/.config/gnucash (appearently).  The Wiki is vauge and 
confusing.  Doing a gnucash --paths helped.

Optional file to extend Gnucash, if it's not there you haven't bothered
to create one and Gnucash will work fine without one ?

Cheers David H.

In GNC_CONFIG_HOMEconfig-user.scmthis file is the entry point to extend
GnuCash by means of the guile scripting language. It's most often used to
load additional reports but is not restricted to only that.Filename ChangeUp
to 2.6 the file was named config-user only!gtk-3.0.csslike GTK_CONFIG_HOME
's
gtk.css this file can be used to manipulate styling for GTK widgets. Any
css changes in this file will override overlapping style info in gtk.css
(and hence the current theme as well).The difference between
GTK_CONFIG_HOME's gtk.css and GNC_CONFIG_HOME's gtk-3.0.css is subtle:
gtk-3.0.css will *only affect GnuCash* whilegtk.css may also affect *all
other GTK-based applications* on your system (for example gimp).log.conf
via this file you can
manipulate how much information GnuCash will write to a log file. By
default this is pretty mild. To help developers in debugging problems the
verbosity can be increased.In DOT_GNUCASH_DIR

All files and directories found in GNC_CONFIG_HOME
 and
GNC_DATA_HOME
, with
one exception: config-user.scm is called config.user in 2.6 and before.

Nope.  At least it doesn't help as far as I can tell.  It is a bit

OK, running "gnucash --paths" on the command line reveals another location: 
$HOME/.config/gnucash, putting config-user.scm there seems to get it loaded, 
but I am getting the message:

WARNING: Use of `load' in declarative module (gnucash utilities).  Add 
#:declarative? #f to your define-module invocation.

What does this mean?

config-user.scm contains:

(display "Hello World (.config/gnucash)")
(newline)
(load "/home/heller/gnucash/dws-stylesheet.scm")
(let ((template (gnc:html-style-sheet-template-find "DWS")))
  (if template 
(let ((options ((gnc:html-style-sheet-template-options-generator 
template

 (gnc:restore-html-style-sheet "Deepwoods Software Stylesheet" "DWS" options


/home/heller/gnucash/dws-stylesheet.scm starts with:


(define-module (gnucash report stylesheets DWS))

(use-modules (gnucash engine))
(use-modules (gnucash utilities))
(use-modules (gnucash core-utils))
(use-modules (gnucash app-utils))
(use-modules (gnucash report))
(use-modules (gnucash html))

and ends with:


(gnc:define-html-style-sheet
 'version 3.0
 'name (N_ "DWS")
 'renderer dws-renderer
 'options-generator dws-options)

(gnc:make-html-style-sheet "DWS" (N_ "DWS"))

Most of this file is just copied from 

.../gnucash-4.14/gnucash/report/stylesheets/footer.scm

with some added options added to the options function and some rendering code 
added to the renderer function.

What am I missing?

I'm beginning to think adding custom code is going to require hacking directly
on the source code and re-compiling. Really? (I may end up doing that anyway.)
