Thanks Marc, I simply (and obvious false) assumed, all Evo settings are
stored locally and just for Evo.

Let me get that straight: That means, my choosen languages are stored
for all Gnome apps using gnome-spell? i.e. when I change languages in an
editor, I change settings for Evo too?

To me that is really bad. That would mean, I can't have different
settings in different apps when they share that component. Or am I wrong
here?


btw: That gets me to a more general topic, GConf. One particular thing I
loved about linux was those easy-to-edit text configuration files.
Stuffing all into one (let me call it) "Registry" is so Windows(R)
like... :-/

I'm afraid, I will loose most of my settings when installing a new
system with the next Gnome versions...


Anyway, I love Gnome and it is the best Desktop available. Kudos to all
you developers! :-)  (running Gnome 2.2 Desktop on Mandrake 9.1)
