David,
I wouldn't dream of arguing with you, and I have no doubt that you are
right.
All I know, empirically, is that:
- /.gnupg is where gpg stores not only keyrings, but also gpg.conf,
trustdb.gpg and random_seed.
- that is the path I insert in TB+Enigmail's OpenPGP
Preferences/Basic/Basic Settings field 'GnuPG executable path', to make
TB inter-operate with GnuPG.
