I never tested this myself but it should work: 1) Before flashing: save configuration file and images directories in a safe place: Code: /home/user/.queen_beecon /home/user/.queen_beecon_dir /home/user/MyDocs/.images/queen_beecon_dir/ 2) After flashing: reinstall qbw package (don't add any qbw widget yet) 3) copy back configuration file and images directories 4) Now keep adding back qbw widgets via desktop gear/menu until they are all restored. (don't issue any qbw configuration step until all qbws are restored) Actually there should be an automatic procedure (described here), integrated into the N900 backup/restore subsystem, which issues step 1) when you perform a backup and step 3) when you perform restore via normal N900 backup/restore applications. It has never been thoroughly tested though. Ciao.
