Hmm, this is an odd one.

1) I don't see that problem on my machine. Deji, is RH applying nay patches to 
the
applet?

2) When you close the configuration dialog, are you a) pressing Esc, b) 
pressing the
window manager close button (top right), or c) the dialog close button (bottom
right). If you're doing a or b, the configuration WON'T be saved (on purpose). 
You
have to do d to save the configuration.

No, we're not adding any patch to the applet. You can see the package's CVS 
repo @ 
http://cvs.fedoraproject.org/viewvc/rpms/file-browser-applet/F-10/ ; its the 
stock 
0.6.0 version.

I'll pass your comment along to the original RH bug entry.

I'm going to have to get a FC VMWare session to sort this one out. What version 
of FC
is this?

Preferences are not retained between logouts and restarts in Ubuntu Lucid 10.04 
(amd64) either.

Version: 0.6.6-0ubuntu1

* I am using the close button at the bottom of the preferences screen.

Blarg!

I was about to delete this issue. I'm also using 10.4 but am not experiencing 
this.
Will have to look into reproducing it.

Can yo tell me more about your specific conditions? Was it a clean install of 
10.4 or
an upgrade? Was it the first time you installed/added the applet, or was it on 
your
panel already?

Hey ssthom,

What OS and version are you using?

Hi, I'm using Ubuntu 10.04 and I have the same issue.
Preferences are not retained between logouts and restarts.

The preference that I want so much is the 'hide files' option. But it doesn't 
work. =/

Has anyone observed this problem recently?

Hi there, this issue is still present for me on a fresh Linux Mint 11 
installation.

Aha! Lucas, that last comment was a big help. It seems that this is a problem 
only for some preferences (like hide_files). I had previously unsuccessfully 
tried to reproduce it with other preferences.

Anyway, it should be easy to fix.
