Comment 5 for bug 1766746

Hi again - I didn't see your second message, about IRC conversation, until
just now. But this suggestion seems not to be the case. Here's my
experiment:
I modified a Gnome 2 panel and attempted to save it, but just copied the
Bionic "current configuration." Failure. Then I suspended the computer.
When I resumed, I saved the configuration, with Current Configuration
selected. This time it worked. Just as I was able to save a modified
Bionic config right after installation. I think it's significant that both
times, I was able to save modifications to whatever config the session
started with.
After this success, I applied Redmond, modified it, and tried to save it.
But what was saved was the modified Gnome 2. Which is the configuration
that was active when the session started.
I'm pretty sure that having Current Configuration selected saves the
configuration that's active when you log in, not the configuration you have
at the moment you save. I could be wrong, but I hope this helps.
