Once backup server is cleared, I assume that a new registration attempt will set _both_ without choking or throwing exceptions... if not, then it'd be a good idea to remove both. In fact, it might be a good idea anyway: once you've de-registered, as a user my expectation would be that it does _not_ try to connect to the jabber server set at registration time. That registration sets 2 values is an internal detail, as a user, both values should be unset together... cheers, m -- martin.langh...@gmail.com mar...@laptop.org -- School Server Architect - ask interesting questions - don't get distracted with shiny stuff - working code first - http://wiki.laptop.org/go/User:Martinlanghoff ___ Sugar-devel mailing list Sugar-devel@lists.sugarlabs.org http://lists.sugarlabs.org/listinfo/sugar-devel

Of course, this means that the users (children) can now trivially lose their registration data. Are there any undesirable consequences of this that I am missing? Nope.
