Changed Language, Lost Desktop Customisation
Posted: Fri 22 Nov 2013, 22:34
Today I realised that my dates were showing the "wrong" way around. I checked the Wizard Wizard, and sure enough there is a Country Wizard. I found that it was on US, where I wanted it to be on Australia. So I changed it to Australia, and while I was there I ticked the "Num Lock" checkbox (which I had previously looked for in vain, not realising that it would be in the Country Wizard...).
I was prompted to restart X, and when I did so, noticed that my wallpaper had reverted to the default. I also noticed that all of my "extra" icons had disappeared. The normal (default) icons are there, but none of my extra ones.

Any ideas on what has happened? I can re-do my customisations, but do they still exist somewhere? Is there a way I can back them up for if this happens again?
