Anyone else having this kind of issue? @elie-7: what other desktop widget do you have installed. Some time ago Desktop Activity Manager was known to mess-up with QBW due to its brutal kill of hildon-home/desktop (and possible interference with QBW config file consistency) As a workaround I can suggest to save /home/user/.queen_beecon after configuration. If your faulty scenario happens again, just open a x-term window as root and issue: - restore of working /home/user/.queen_beecon file - killall hildon-home
