Thanks - I now found it. :-)

In your filesystem layout file, you have, for example,

GNUSTEP_USER_DIR_TOOLS=GS/Tools

because this path is relative, it is automatically assumed to be relative to
the user home dir.  By the way, that should still satisfy your requirements;
while the standard GNUstep installation from the distribution will (most
likely) be using ~/GNUstep/Tools, your installation will be using ~/GS/Tools,
so there is no conflict there - different directories are used to put stuff
in! :-)

If you still want to use /GS/Tools for all users, it should be as simple as
making the directory path absolute --

GNUSTEP_USER_DIR_TOOLS=/GS/Tools

that should tell both gnustep-make and gnustep-base that the directory is a
fixed, absolute directory, not relative to the user's home directory. :-)

Unfortunately, you then have to store the user's defaults somewhere.  You
most likely don't want different users to share the user default.  Presumably
you could leave that one as

GNUSTEP_USER_DEFAULTS_DIR=GS/Defaults

again, that actually means ~/GS/Defaults.

Thanks
