Thanks -- as I thought, they've separated the system configuration files from 
the regular scripts.  Correct me if I'm wrong:


1. /sw/etc/gEDA/gschem-darkbg exists.

2. geda-rc-path is equal to /sw/etc/gEDA.

3. (load (build-path geda-rc-path "gschem-darkbg")) appears to fail[1].


If so, that is extremely odd, and I can't work out why it might be the case... 
can you please stick this expression in your gafrc and see what it outputs?

(display (build-path geda-rc-path "gschem-darkbg"))


We'll get to the bottom of this!

[1] The (not particularly complicated) definition of the build-path function 
is given in geda.scm.
