Synaptic remove completly

[Jim Byrnes]

Been having trouble getting Backintime to do a snapshot on my 12.04 system.

So I went to Synaptic and choose to completely remove it.  Then I 
reinstalled it.  When I ran it for the first time I found it knew about 
the last failed snapshot and displayed all the include and exclude 
settings from the prior install.

Obviously there was a config file of some kind still around from the 
prior install.  Is this normal? Or should have the remove completely 
option found and removed all the config files?

Thanks,  Jim
