I can try that, although as said I am not sure how to reproduce the problem, 
it comes and goes.

I haven't studied dt's use of config files in detail. But I am sure it saves 
configuration, since it normally remembers all my settings, presets, history 
and window state just fine - something that I really appreciates :)

I had a HP Elitebook 2560p, which had an error, so I sent it in for repair. 
They gave me another one (same model), so I installed archlinux on it, and 
restored my homedir from a backup. In general, all my software works as 
before, including dt, which remembers my collection history, presets etc.

My DE is Plasma, but why/how would that affect dt, and why would it'saffect 
suddenly change? I have run dt for years.

I do not think the problem comes from the system change. 

Kindly,
Anders
