Comment 4 for bug 506837

Thanks for following up. I'm closing this report due to your last comment.
For your reference, when you 'remove' a package the configuration files are kept, so when you reinstall it, the configuration is preserved. If you want to fully remove a package including conf file you need to 'purge' the package. That's what you did with synaptic full removal.

Don't hesitate to submit any new bug.
