We don't use LookOut here, but have seen this with other applications. What was happening for us is the application was saving its settings in the profile's "Local Settings" directory, which of course does not roam. With XP you can modify the profile policy to say which directories do not roam, and by default the "Local Settings" directory is in there. One obvious possible solution: remove the directory from the policy so that "Local Settings" roams. This might cause other problems however since browser cache and other things are often stored in this directory. It could negatively impact the login and logout time on your network as more data is copied back and forth.
