Yes, more details:
1. Backed up the entire system (all up-to-date): dom0, all templates, all vms;
2. Installed fresh Qubes 3.1 with no pre-configuration (seems fedora-23 was
installed anyway)
3. Did an incremental restore as follows:
a. restored dom0 - noticed that the following did not restore: desktop
background, sound prefs,
application menu settings (application menu entries were correct)
b. reboot
c. restored service templates & service vms
d. updated dom0 - noticed window rules were not restored
e. reboot
f. restored dom0 AGAIN - thinking that dom0 update might have some effect
window rules did not restore BUT desktop background did.
g. restored all other templates & vms
h. noticed that keybindings did not restore
I think all of these KDE settings are stored in ~/.kde/share/config/.
Specifically, the window rules are located in kwinrulesrc. I guess I could
reconnect backup drive and go find out if files were backed up to begin with.
My hunch is that the problem is on the restore end. How can I tell if files are
locked? And if locked can Qubes restore overwrite them?
