So I was wondering about the "If not" part. Is it intended that the /client/etc/ file serves as the "default" but can be "overridden" by a file in /home/user_name/... ? Would it depend if gnumed was started from inside /home/user_name/.gnumed/?

Andrea's Debian installer puts the client under /usr/bin/python2.3 so I gather any users logged into such a machine would all access a shared copy of the client that keeps only one configuration?
