Sebastien, since gnome-control-center deletes files in your home directory, i attached it to gdb and set up a breakpoint in unlink syscall.

[Bug 78500] Re: gnome-control-center wipes out /home/user
The same thing happened to me yesterday. After doing the following steps, my home folder was wiped clean. On my system this is reproduceable every time: 1) Start gnome-control-center (SystemControl Centre) 2) Right-click on an icon -it doesn't matter which one, you can choose SCIM Input Method Setup, for example. On the context menu, select Remove from Startup Programs. 3) After you've done that, you'll see that you cannot start any new graphical applications -i.e. for example, if you start a new terminal, it won't come up. 4) Logout as usual by pressing the button on the top right corner of the gnome panel. You'll notice the Restart and Shut Down buttons are missing. Choose Logout. 5) Log back in and realize in despair that your /home/folder has been wiped clean and you're back to the ubuntu defaults. Bash history, evolution mail, tomboy notes, etc all gone. Regarding my system, it is an x86 (P2), which I've been continuously upgrading (Breezy-Dapper-Edgy-Feisty) since I first started with ubuntu. The way I did the upgrade from Edgy to Feisty was by using the 'update-manager'. Afterwards, I've always kept my system up to date with either upgrading from synaptic or by 'sudo aptitude update sudo aptitude dist-upgrade'. The currently installed version of gnome- control-center is 1:2.17.90-0ubuntu1. Let me know if you require more information, but as I said, at least on my system, this is reproduceable every time. -- gnome-control-center wipes out /home/user https://launchpad.net/bugs/78500 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

Do you want me to try to reproduce the bug ? If so what do you want me to do to make sure we can see where the problem is ?

Confirmed? You can trigger that bug too? From where do you get a disk- admin icon to start with?

RE: [Bug 78500] Re: gnome-control-center wipes out /home/user
it must have been an left-over from my earlier Dapper Drake installation and yes, the file responsible for that icon beeing visible in gnome-control-center, was indeed located in my /home/user file tree.
