Hello Sayamindu,

I don't think the xephyr patch is the cause of the problem with the crashing.
I've fixed that in my packages by applying:

http://cvs.fedoraproject.org/viewvc/rpms/sabayon/F-11/sabayon-2.25.0-profile-save.patch?view=markup

which fixes the problem with the crashing, which for me was caused by some of
the paneldelegate objects being None.

However, the problem I'm now struggling with is the following:

I can edit, and save profiles just fine, including (for me) adding launcher
objects and applets to the panel(s).  If I re-edit the profile, lo-and-behold,
they re-appear just fine, so I know the information's being saved in the
profile .zip

Where the problem is coming in is in the sabayon-apply.  When the profile's
applied, some pieces (such as the background) are being applied correctly.
However, frustratingly, the panel objects are NOT being applied.  However,
editing the profile does confirm they've been added.

Any debugging tips that might help me sort this one out?

Scott
