Ok - so, I just pushed this to master, and will cherry-pick to 3.3 in a
bit; I didn't add the prompting piece - so, we essentially do a one-shot
migration from the old settings; and if people want to re-do that they
need to remove the 'MIGRATED' file from their old settings directory
(hopefully that is somewhat possible).
For post 3.3 - hopefully, we can have the dialog pop up - and it would
also be nice to have some graphical warning that we are about to restart
having done a settings migration, instead of the silent exit we have
now. I can't make myself use the non-layout dialog code though ;-) so -
must review Ricardo's new layout work next.
HTH,
Michael.
