Yeah I was looking at that but it seemed pretty inconvenient! I mean opening up each Beecon widget and pasting in the text!?

I found all that information is saved in /home/user/.queen_beecon

What I don't know is where all the settings/configuration files for hildon desktop are. I found /home/user/.config/hildon-desktop/home.plugins and that seems to show instantiations of widgets but doesn't have their x,y coordinates. The config file that has all the coordinates of the widgets would be great to backup since trying to place something precisely is tedious
