I have the following lines in gafrc config file:

(reset-component-library)
(component-library-search "/usr/share/gEDA/smallsym")
(component-library "${HOME}/.gEDA/symbols")

The first line deletes standard libraries from geda-symbols,
the second one adds small symbols and the third one defines a local directory to store private symbols.
The file gafrc can be placed in ${HOME}/.gEDA and then it works for all your projets, or in a project directory to be used only for this project.
 
I also changed some defaults for gschem by placing following lines in ${HOME}/.gEDA/gschemrc file:

(define default-titleblock "title-A4.sym")
(net-style "thin")
(pin-style "thin")

This set the proper paper size and forces lines on schematic to be thinner.
