Bug ID: 16277
Summary: xfce randomly loses configuration files
Classification: Xfce Core
Product: Xfconf
Version: 4.12.0
Hardware: PC (x86_64)
OS: Linux
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Medium
Component: General
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Target Milestone: Xfce 4.12
Sometimes files in .config/xfce4 just disappear if the hdd loses power.
I suspect that the way xfce works with configuration files is not really safe,
that is xfce just directly writes into a file instead of creating a file with a
random name and then moving it over the old one. This becomes important if the
hdd loses power (which happens on laptops quite often), although I am not
entirely sure this is the case.
I had this experience recently, when my xfce4-panel lost half of the panel *.rc
files.
