Preserve app preferences and settings when using FileVault
Authored by: dennis.se on Nov 23, '09 11:12:27AM

I've been experiencing this issue on 10.6 on a useraccount that was NOT using filevault.. the problems were exactly the same as with filevault on 10.5, and was extremely irritating. the problems did however seem disappear with the ugrade to 10.6.2 (I believe it came with 10.6.1, but I'm not sure), and I'm hoping it stays that way.

anyways, is the plist regenerated by copying the contents from /Library/Preferences/ every time you restart - even though there is no problem with the local plist? if so, this would be _extremely_ useful for users with several accounts either where only one of the users actually knows what he's doing, or where one user has several accounts. would save a lot of time setting up new accounts.
