You sure?  What is the intended usage of init-file-user anyway?

If normal libraries follow init-file-user, you could have a situation
where a user tries to write customization files into the home
directory of another user.  This doesn't make much sense, but I don't
understand when it makes sense to set init-file-user in the first
place.
