I'd be curious to know the name of the process and what happens when you try to kill it. To answer your question, depending on the version of Shotwell, prefs used to be stored in GConf but if you're running Shotwell 0.11 or better they're stored in GSettings. Your best bet for these types of issues is to do a "complete remove" of the Shotwell package in your package manager and reinstall. - Eric _______________________________________________ Shotwell mailing list [email protected] http://lists.yorba.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/shotwell
