So I set it to start with an empty config, and alternately rebooted and edited grub.cfg to get it to use the latest kernel automatically since it has been built with enough stuff I can run the uspace sim version of lcnc with it. That took 4 reboots to get it right, each one a blank screen except for the icons & tde menu's. Getting that right, I reset it to use a saved config, and sure as God made little green apples, on the next reboot nothing had changed, it was all back, and all piled up on workspace 2, with the 4 tab terminal that lives on workspace 2 in my usual workflow, sitting on top of everything else. So it appears that accomplished zero effect other than kmail wasn't restarted, everything else was after 4 reboots to an empty config, including kcalc on its correct workspace 3.. Is the a subdir in ~/.trinity or ~/.kde ( those file dates were all old) that I can nuke, to make it resave the config as it exists at logout/reboot? IOW, What did I do wrong? Should I have been just logging out as opposed to a hot reboot? And how does one go about "saving" the manually saved session that this menu gives you the option of using. I haven't run across a menu entry to do that. That seems like it should be the real answer, saving the currently running stuff, including the workspace # its running on. But what do I know? In the FWIW category, big story about a Glibc vulnerability, released by both Red Hat and Google, a dns exploit that gives the attacker root with one query. Supposedly a year old, but I don't recall seeing anything but an update to the docs for glibc in recent history. Does anyone know if the wheezy glibc has actually been quietly patched for that exploit or not in the last year? Thanks.
