Apparently, so.  Do you have any idea why selecting 'Mark for Complete 
Removal' in Synaptic does not delete ~/.gconf/apps/baobab? I moved the 
baobab folder from .Trash back to .gconf, rebooted, and then it appeared 
in gconf editor.  I cleared the variable 'noscan' and reinstalled 
Baobab.  This time it opened.  However, now the apps/baobab folder is 
completely gone from my system; It is in neither ~/.gconf nor in 
~/.Trash.  Go figure.

Also, after a quick examination, it appears that the file sizes in the 
directory tree are mislabeled by a couple of orders of magnitude, e.g. 
my root directory shows 928 GB but the whole disk drive is only 30GB.

As a certified fool, I am very good at helping developers foolproof 
their product :)
