Can someone tell me why? Not backing up the contents of a softlink, makes 
an incomplete, often worthless backup.

Just last week I had occasion to do a recover after a failed hard drive, 
and the most important editing program I use, gedit now refuses to run 
over an ssh -Y link.  Something did not get recreated in the 
/home/gene/.gconf tree.

Cheers, Gene Heskett
