               manager of choice for all light thinking Unix addicts!

I just put this extension on my memorystick DSL. I have a problem here. The configuration file ~/.xfe/xferc are AFAIK saved in the backup.tar.gz as is the whole home directory. But the settings for XFE, which are saved to this file does not survive reboot. Are the file overwritten from the .uci or what is happening? I'd like my two-panel setup and file associations to survive reboot.....
/home/dsl/.xfe/xferc is part of the user.tar.gz file in the extension.  So if you have that file in your backup, it will get overwritten if you load the extension after your settings have been restored upon reboot.  I put xfe-1.19.uci in my /mnt/hda2/mydsl directory and the extension is then loaded before my backup files are restored.  In that case my backup xferc is overwriting the xferc that is included in the extension since the backup is restored after the extension is loaded at boot.  If you have /home/dsl/.xfe/xferc in your backup, have the xfe-1.19.uci extension in a /mydsl directory on persistant storage and your settings should survive across reboots.  Hope this helps.

Yes. Well the problem is that I've kept the .uci in /mydsl directory on the same partition on my memorystick that keeps the KNOPPIX image, the backup.tar.gz and the rest of it all the time.....
Still it seems the .uci is overwriting the /home/dsl/.xfe directory after the backups been restored...
Very strange indeed... I examined the generated backup.tar.gz on my regular PC. In that archive the .xfe directory that should be under /home/dsl is missing...?
I've examined /opt/.filetool.lst and /opt/.xfiletool.lst but nothing indicates why this directory isn't saved in the backup together with the rest of /home/dsl...
Well, it's no wonder why this directory isn't restored after reboot as it isn't saved in the first place. But I can't figure out why...? Any clues? I really want to use XFE, but when settings aren't restored it's not so fun....
