I'd say that it would better to store it with config data, because the implication of separating them to me would be that it is more ok to 'lose' state, e.g. maybe we don't back it up, etc.. It seems better to me to err on the side of causion then.<br> <br>Axel<br> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"><div><div class="h5"><br> Dieter<br> _______________________________________________<br> xdg mailing list<br> <a href="mailto:xdg@lists.freedesktop.org">xdg@lists.freedesktop.org</a><br> <a href="http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/xdg" target="_blank">http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/xdg</a><br> </div></div></blockquote></div><br>
