e_remote doesnt expose all of e's config anyay. it has not
been expanded to include new config for years. just copy the config files if u
want to back up. hell - e backs up its own config these days. look at the
file.1.cfg, file.2, .3, .4 etc. - each one is a successive backup - up to
9 previous versions are kept and e will fall back to previous versions if the
new(er) ones are empty/corrupt. technically this also allows for config
rollback if u made a booboo. no ui provided atm, but someone could brewup
something in a module etc..

dunno. sounds like your tools are inadequate. i've used d-feet myself if u want
a ui to play with the dbus api's. :)
