Mr. Pearson,

Thanks for that, I do not have a RH support account.  I will put in
the scripting to ensure the directory is there.  I can confirm that
after putting it in there manually everything seems to work correctly.

That said, I guess I'm interested in the "design" choice and if there
isn't a more appropriate place to stick this type of config under the
new "design".  Again, I tried to hunt through release notes, issues,
etc. in Gnome's gitlab code tree, but didn't find anything that jumped
out at me as relevant to changing the behavior or otherwise noting a
"design" change between Gnome versions.
