** Description changed: I've had a number of problems lately with quodlibet and have traced them to the fact that quodlibet periodically writes garbage to the ~/.quodlibet/config file and to other files it uses, for example, the - files in the ~/.quodlibet/playlists/ folder. When I've had problems with - these files, I've looked at them and found that they had been changed - from plain text to binary garbage. When I removed these files, quodlibet - would start normally but later the files would again be corrupted. This - may have something to do with the fact that X is crashing a lot on me - lately. I think, but am not certain, that these files disappear or are - changed to garbage when quodlibet is not cleanly shut down. + files in the ~/.quodlibet/playlists/ folder. When the config file is + corrupted, quodlibet fails to start at all and I get a message in the + console saying there's a problem with the console file. My playlists + occasionally disappear, in which case I find the same garbage in place + of a plain-text file. When I removed these files or replaced them with + backups, quodlibet would start normally but later the files would again + be corrupted and I would have the same problems and have to remove the + config file and copy the backups of my playlists back into the playlists + folder.
