Absolutely not. 'attach_load_directory' just remembers the last place you
loaded a theme from. That is, you use the 'Install new...' button and
wherever you installed a theme from, this is remembered in
'attach_load_directory'.

I advise not to try interpreting the clawsrc file until you understand how
permissions work in linux.
