Save desktop widget/shortcut layouts
 

As I keep messing with the N900 it happens quite frequently, that the Desktops get lost - meaning some widgets and shortcuts, mysteriously disappear.

This is especially annoying after fiddlin' with some shortcut's positioning for minutes on end and then losing it.

Where is the desktop layout saved, so I could back it up and restored it? I've looked in all the obvious places in /usr/share/ but can't find anything...

I think it's in gconf under
/apps/osso/hildon-desktop/applets

You can list the settings with:
and probably make a shell script to restore them.

That's interesting.. Theoretically it could solve the portrait widget problem.. You just make two arrangements of widgets, one for each, and then when you go portrait your widgets won't get scrambled.

sounds like a plan

Could you post info on how to make the script?

It depends on how much you know about shell scripting. If nothing, have a look for a guide on bash shell scripting.
The snippet I gave above recursively lists all of the keys and values you need to store, so you just need to use the gconf tool to write your previously saved values using gconf -s or something similar.

Do you know command to create shortcut?
