1.3 The Users Domain
On systems where GNUstep is installed optionally, the Users domain can
usually be found in a subdirectory of the user's home directory called
'GNUstep'. This location is configurable, and some installations may
put this directly in the user's directory (and typical user's home
directories would be located in a `Users' folder). As the name
suggests, the main purpose of the Users domain is to hold GNUstep
related files which shall not be available to other users on the
system but only to the user owning them. This includes the GNUstep
defaults database, which holds system settings, application
preferences and customized resources, as well as temporary data
related to services and file type associations for programs. It also
holds user installed applications and tools (each user has the ability
to install their own version of an application or tool). In
addition to these special files, the User domain features the same
structure as the other domains.
