Hi tailspeople. I posted this on the reddit forums, but I'll throw it to
the support list too.  The 'dotfiles' support in tails seems a little
sketchy - I can't quite get it to work.  My goal is to have saved
desktop setup stuff (like having color themes for Terminal saved between
reboots), but can't seem to get it working...

Here's my post:

What's not working is the dotfiles stuff. I realized there was a
mechanism to save persistent confiurations with dotfiles, so I symlinked
~/.gconf/ over to Persistent/dotfiles/.gconf - but it didn't stick. It's
back to:

amnesia@amnesia:~/Persistent/dotfiles$ ls -ld ~/.gconf
drwx------ 4 amnesia amnesia 80 Nov 15 11:06 /home/amnesia/.gconf
amnesia@amnesia:~/Persistent/dotfiles$ ls -la
total 12
drwx------ 3 amnesia amnesia 4096 Nov 14 06:33 .
drwx------ 5 amnesia amnesia 4096 Nov 14 06:32 ..
drwx------ 4 amnesia amnesia 4096 Nov 14 06:33 .gconf

So, close but no cigar. I wonder if .gconf is special because it's built
from scratch, and I may have to have a post-bootup "copy my profiles in"
thing.

Thanks...
