Comment 20 for bug 1385817

For anyone else who is a bit crazed about this bug, I can recommend Aptik to backup and restore your applications, settings and documents. It's safe to do a fresh installation and it's dead easy to use, but you need some kind of external backup hardware.
 It's a long process to restore everything but well worth in the end.

No more unconfigured applications and everything seems to be as it was before this bug bit.
