Yep, its the same, but when I tried to restore as a regular user (which I normally don't do) it complained about the .lock file and restored to some strange values which involved so much feedback that I had to go to a root window and restore again. The strange thing is that I had no problems like this under openrc, so I wonder what systemd is doing and how I can get around it. -- Your life is like a penny. You're going to lose it.
