I'm using Linux for about six years so I know where settings are kept, and I didn't remove them ;) Some folders in /home/user/.gnome2 became empty after disk was full surely gedit and mozilla settings. All plugins from seamonkey gone. It was very strange because I was not even using seamonkey at that time - I closed it and then afer running again there was only default settings (bookmarks were kept but all plugins were missing). Gedit kept plugins but plugins settings was gone (snippets) ... . There wasn't any information in GNOME - just data loss. Also Ardour settings gone. It was surely some problems in .gnome2 hidden folder, but not every application lost it's settings so it's really strange. I think it might be a problem when disk is full and application, for ex. seamonkey or gedit is trying to save settings but there's no space on the disk, so the old settings are removed and the new cannot be saved. If problem will not be localized I think it'll be a good idea to include in default installation some disk monitor tool.
