Follow-up Comment #10, bug #30470 (project gnustep):
Sorry for posting again, just wanted to make sure people searching for this
topic find updated information --

As far as I know (please correct me if I'm wrong) you can specify an absolute
path for a user domain path, which means you can do all the above --
* disable the USER domain entirely (by using the same paths used for
NETWORK, so that it is collapsed with NETWORK, and it no longer does
anything)
* map the USER domain to another domain (same technique)
* make the USER domain a shared domain (just use absolute path for the USER
domain, but different from the ones used by other domains)
The one we miss at the time of writing is the last one --
* Perhaps to make the USER domain be in a per-user area relative to some
other location ... but if so, how would we specify it? I'm not sure was could
do it by username as a username may not be a valid file name. Probably we
could put it in a directory referenced by user ID (afaik all operating systems
provide some sort of numeric user ID).
We don't support this, but if we do, I like having a couple of placeholders
such as %u for the username and maybe another one for the user id ?
Thanks
