No, it's not even read. As I wrote!
GNU Radio does not *care* about config files outside ~/.gnuradio.

And that is, in my opinion, a good thing, honestly. There's way too many surprised to be 
had if the behaviour of a GUI program depended on from where it was started.

No. local_blocks_path has no effect whatsoever on where blocks are generated.
It's just one of the paths that GRC **looks** into to **find** blocks.

Sadly: Yes, that or reading the code. :(

Generally, as a project we don't have *that* many things that are configurable, and those 
that are often things you would tend to avoid letting users do by hand. I consider the 
fact that there's no way to comfortable change the editor setting from GRC a usability 
bug, in all honesty.
Would you care to help us, by making a "Feature Request" on
https://github.com/gnuradio/gnuradio/issues/new/choose
that basically says "I want to change the editor in a way that is easy, from within 
GRC"?

Best regards,
Marcus
