Bug#458007: boincmgr: local preferences are not saved

[Sandro Tosi]

Package: boinc-manager
Version: 5.10.30-2
Severity: normal

Hello,
changing local preferences, they are not saved.

To replicate it (that was what I was trying to do):

1. run boincmgr
2. open Advanced > Preferences
3. click on Network tab
4. change Maximum download rate
5. click OK
6. re-exec step 2. 

you'll note that the value is not changed.

I run boincmgr with a different user from the one running boinc client
(boinc).

Regards,
Sandro
