autostart bug

[Israel]

Hi,
You are right, though some of those files are handy to keep around.  For
example the .gimp(version#) folder stores extra brushes you add, same
with some other art programs.
.filezilla stores your access passwords, etc..  .thunderbird stores your
mail, and passwords

and so on.  So knowing which ones to delete and which ones to save is
better.... but yes, when in doubt delete all your config files if
something is broken
