Status in Back In Time: Confirmed
Bug description:
Due to a file system problem unrelated to BIT - the program could not write its
config files.
Once that happens unpredictable behavior is encountered (program freeze)
Since this happens easily due to .gvfs files - program support is required.
It is best to have the program check the validity of writing to the directories
required, and then fail gracefully, as well as support return to default values
in config files, and worker directories.
In my case I deleted everything, unlocked the .gvfs uninstalled, and started
again. (not as easy as it sounds since I had to search for file locations as
user, file locations as root, and solve the .gvfs lock)
