Description of Problem: users upgrading to 1.0.3 find the .Profile does not work http://bugzilla.abisource.com/show_bug.cgi?id=4222 Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): RH ships pre-1.0.3, this occurs when users upgrade to 1.0.3 How Reproducible: Had to guess Steps to Reproduce: 1. do standard install 1.0.3 2. change your defaults 3. restart AbiWord 4. complain on userlist when defaults don't stick (note this won't be the only problem) 5. I'll place comments in 4222 6. I might, someday, get feedback from Red Hat 7. actually give me feedback! 8. #'s 1-3 and #7 are all that are requested Actual Results: Continues to act like nothing is changed (literally, nothing is changed) the Profile has to be edited by hand. Expected Results: Normally, users anticipated their changes will stick. Additional Information: There may be something similar on Windows, i.e. I may be hallucinating, but the ones with the largest issues (major in traditional severity) occur on RH8 settings. There's one in the list that has problems with the font warning and splash screen on RH7.3, which I cannot confirm, that is to say, I possess the same setup without the same problem. Do contact for more information or help with a work around. /me decides not to go into the GPL speech.
We shipped abiword 1.0.2 in Red Hat Linux 8.0. The configuration is mind-numbingly boring, so the only way I can see this causing problems if if the problem code is upstream. Especially since you seem to imply that there are reports of the same problem on Windows. I've confirmed that this works correctly with 1.0.2, so this is NOTABUG for me until we ship something newer and see if the problem occurs.
