gschem version 20061020 does not seem not work like this over here. It
reads the system-gschemrc after the local gafrc file. In particular the
system-gschemrc resets the symbol path.  


This is the output of the gschem status window on start-up in the /tmp
directory, where I had put a gafrc file:

Read system-gafrc file [/usr/local/geda/share/gEDA/system-gafrc]
Did not find optional ~/.gEDA/gafrc file [/home/kmk/.gEDA/gafrc]
Read local gafrc file [/tmp/gafrc]
Read system-gschemrc file [/usr/local/geda/share/gEDA/system-gschemrc]
Did not find optional ~/.gEDA/gschemrc file [/home/kmk/.gEDA/gschemrc]
Did not find optional local gschemrc file [/tmp/gschemrc]
Read init scm file [/usr/local/geda/share/gEDA/scheme/gschem.scm]
add-component: Component with name [title-A4-2.sym] not found.
-----------------------------8<--------------------------------------

Bottom line: If I want to make sure, that a setting is applied on
start-up, I have to put it into a gschemrc file. Either in the local
directory, or in $HOME/.gEDA
