No because CHOICESPATH is set for all apps, not just those hosted at
rox.sourceforge.net.  If you set CHOICESPATH as above then run an old
version of Clock it will store its config in
$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/rox.sourceforge.net/Clock whereas a newer version will use
$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/kerofin.demon.co.uk/Clock.

I'm really glad that worked. Those would have been terrible last words.
