xffmrc.xml woes

[K Raghu Prasad]

Hi! Edscott,

Thanks for the prompt reply. By the way I have some
doubts regarding xffmrc.xml.

If these values are not being read, why are they being
created by xffm? I have noticed that even if I delete
this file, as soon as I start and then exit from xffm,
it is created automatically. The current xffmrc.xml file
created by xffm is given below:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xffm>
  <CONFIG_VERSION>0.6</CONFIG_VERSION>
  <preferences AUTOSCROLL="1073741824" DRAG_DO_COPY="1048576" SHOW_DOT="0"

  <XFFM_APPEND_FILES/>
  <XFFM_HIDE_BOOK/>
  <XFFM_HIDE_LOCAL/>
  <XFFM_HIDE_NETWORK/>
  <XFFM_HIDE_APPS/>
  <XFFM_HIDE_FIND/>
  <XFFM_HIDE_TRASH/>
  <XFFM_HIDE_FSTAB/>
  <XFFM_HOLD_XTERM/>
  <XFFM_DEFAULT_UNLINK/>
</xffm>

I am using xfce4.0rc2. I don't know whether the changes
mentioned by you were implemented after this version.
I think if xffm is not using the xml elements shown in
above file, it should not create them either. Is there
any particular reason for this behavior?

I am running mcs-manager. So can you please send me a
sample settings file for xffm used by mcs-manager?

Thanks
