There should be one at ~/.qgis too.

Better make a copy of qgis.db into ~/.qgis.

That sounds weird to me. This is what I get (qgis master, ubuntu 12.04):
$ ls -l /usr/share/qgis/resources/qgis.db
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 23552 may 7 2011 /usr/share/qgis/resources/qgis.db
The owner is root and only root has write permissions. Which is to be
expected for a file in that directory.
