preserving user configuration

[Matthias Clasen <mclasen redhat com>]

(last rant for today...)

So, the stock ticker applet has been replaced by
a new all-shiny python incarnation. Has any thought
been given to preserving the user configuration ?

I see some thought has been given to it, since
it installs a bonobo server file which replaces
the old stock ticker applet with the new one.
But it does not seem to take over the configuration
data from the old applet. And the new applet
stores its configuration data by serializing a
python object, which is an "interesting" approach,
to say the least...
