Now that its working, you might want to rename the newly made file to
a 'name'.new, and take the .old off the other one & restart x to see if the
miss-behaviour is back. If it is, reverse the naming back to where it was,
re-start x again, and delete the old one at your convenience. With the wrong
name, is isn't going to hurt anything to leave it, other than waste a
kilobyte or 5 of disk space. 20 years ago when floppies were 360k, and
machines had only 64k of ram, we worried about every byte, but a little lint
laying around on a 100Gb drive doesn't amount to much. And you have learned
something. :)
