What I meant, is that out-of-the-box, there _is_ a configuration
(Default) that conflicts with the others (according to the text).

Sorry, I had made a debug directory under ...project/src/ because this
was easier to get to some data files, each time I restarted my program. I
now moved the debug dir to ...project/debug, and _that_ problem went away.

May I suggest to add this to the manual, along with a warning? I believe
most of my problems where caused by putting the Debug directory inside
src.
