Another scenario, same failure. I have a squeeze installed notebook and having troubles with X. It crashes for some driver specific reasons and I need to hard-reset the notebook. 1-2 times I found WindowMaker missing its workspaces, and I didn't have time to inspect the problem. Now I lost all of my Opera bookmarks (~500 collected in years). Thanks XFS, but no, you're not power-failure. (BTW, I "kill -9"ed Opera many times, and it restored all of its settings properly. I don't think it is an Opera or WindowMaker related bug.) Regards. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
