By the way, everyone, it would probably reduce a lot of these newbie
frustrations (and given how new the live-helper framework is, aren't
we all except perhaps Daniel) if
a) the meaning of the options were documented in the manpages, not
just with the LH_ entries in config/*
b) it were clear that the LH_ options have to be set in config/* and
that those set in the shell environment are *ignored*.
I'm not in a position to submit patches to this effect myself right
now (it'd take a lot of research on my part and I've got a deadline)
but if no one gets to it, I will, eventually.
OTOH, someone who knows the scripts well could probably do it pretty
quickly, and then maybe wouldn't have to answer so many questions on
the list...
