If so, it's not apparent where.  This is my ~/.config/GIMP/2.10/gimprc
(and that's where other GIMP config files live, such as printrc, which
I'm certain is the one being used here).

# GIMP gimprc
# 
# This is your personal gimprc file.  Any variable defined in this file takes
# precedence over the value defined in the system-wide gimprc:
# /etc/gimp/2.0/gimprc
# Most values can be set within GIMP by changing some options in the
# Preferences dialog.
