MATE saving of desktops, layouts, (testing,unstable)

[songbird <songbird@anthive.com>]

  anyone else run MATE from testing/unstable?  guru?  :)

  once in a while the saved layouts i have get clobbered
and i don't know anything about where and how those are
stored so i can back them up or fix them easily when it
happens.  as i usually have all my desktops arranged 
around projects i am working on i wouldn't even mind
being able to have different versions of such, but that
would be a side effect of knowing the set up.  which i
admit i do not.

  i've tried to read some docs on-line about this and
not making too much headway either.  things do change...

  and for the record i do have the box checked in the
preferences to save the window locations.  i thought
that once i had a good setup that i would uncheck this
but when i tried that yesterday then there were none
saved at all when i started up again the next time.

  thanks for info, ideas.
