The local paths pcb shows in the footprint chooser are read from
	$HOME/.pcb/preferences

In my case, the config file contains a line like this:
	library-newlib = ~/geda/footprints:~/geda/luciani

You can set this list of paths from within the GUI (GTK-GUI assumed):
	File --> Preferences --> Library

Note, this library path does not affect gsch2pcb/gnetlist. The 
recommended place to set the lib path for these tools is gafrc at one of 
the various local or system-wide places.
