I misdeleted all the files in my home directory by running command "rm -rf *". As I know this won't delete hidden files and directories. Luckily, I've made a backup of home directory several days ago. so I copied all the files and directories except those hidden ones back to my home DIR, hoping everything to get back to normal. however, something odd happened. when I start GNUCash, beep-media-player and Gaim, none of them were with the preferences I had before. I checked all the config files of theirs, and they were there. it seems that they are not knowing that their config files exist. why is this happening?
