Bug#781789: I: [boinc_alpha] I: Bug#781789: boinc-manager: Boinc Manager seems to drop a configuration file into the home directory without hiding it

[Gianfranco Costamagna]

Control: reassign -1 wxwidgets
Control: found -1 3.0.2-2

thanks

Hi Wxwidgets maintainers, according to boinc/upstream this might be likely a wx issue, or a wx wrong usage :)

cheers,

G.

According to Rom, the file name is based on the app name supplied to WxWidgets,
namely line 206 of BOINCGUIApp.cpp:

     SetAppName(wxT("BOINC Manager"));

The functions for reading/writing config info
(like window size and position) are members of the class WxConfigBase.
Wx stores this info in a file on Unix; on Win, it uses the registry.
