THESE ARE UNSCHEDULED BACKLOG TASKS
-----------------------------------
+* MGED's startup directory is inconsistent and sometimes problematic.
+ If the current working directory is read-only (e.g., a default
+ system install and opening one of the sample .g files), then
+ numerous commands the write out to the current path will fail (e.g.,
+ "idents file.log"). Review startup path behavior and consider using
+ $HOME or some other system path, unless started on the command-line.
+
* rtwizard's reopening of the database is causing db_dircheck
"Duplicate of..." errors when opening read-only .g files.
