Hallo everyone, I need help with a problem I'm facing with my distro
(OpenGEU). I ensure you I tried almost everything to solve it before mailing
you, not to disturb for trivial problems.
Now, since E17 upgraded and started using the wizard module, I'm having a
lot of troubles.
What I basically need is configuring my system as I please, including number
and position of shelves, and including shelves contents, loaded modules,
autostarted apps, everything. After I do it, I need to understand which
files are storing these configurations. I need to locate them and find a way
to have other people load them. The goal is of course to have another system
look exactly like mine after the installation of some packages.

Now, I tried creating a new OpenGEU cofiguration for wizard, but looks like
wizard only need modules configuration files, I cannot find a way to have
wizard store shelves position and contents, or autostarted applications,
Ibar applications, etc... so, wizard is very limited for my purpose and
doesn't look like the proper solution for me.

Plus, I have to say that I used to be able to do these kind of tricks with
previous versions.. What I did was storing the contents of my .e/e home
folder and copying them to another system and E17 looked exactly like
mine... this does not happen with the new E. When I copy the contents of my
.e folder, even if I store them in a desktop-order file like I did before,
when I delete the .e home folder and restart E, my stored configs are not
restored. Instead, my very old configurations are partially restored, not
including the ibar apps!! So everything looks pretty messed up, I have to
manually delete .e and replace it with the one I stored before.
Tricky and kinda weird, uhm? Maybe not for you, maybe you do understand what
happens here, I hope this is the case :(
That's the sole reason why openGEU Intrepid cannot come out :(

Another note: If I delete the .e folder and restart E, I believed Wizard
should start... but this doesn't happen always, it only happens randomly
some times... and when it loads my configurations, these configurations does
not include the shelves number and position... well, there must be something
I don't get, and something which changed.

Now I need to understand this. How can I reach my goal and where are the E
configuration stored when I customize my E. How does E17 know where to place
shelves, icons, which apps to autostart and all of this when my computer
turns on? Which configurations does it read? Because I can tell it doesn't
get everything from my .e home folder... or storing it and restoring it
later would of curse solve my problem... it doesn't.

Please help :(
Bye,

Luca D.M.
