I've just found out that some software (at least in the extras-devel) didn't use QSettings correctly. Their code looks like this:

Code:
       settings = QtCore.QSettings()
       QtCore.QCoreApplication.setOrganizationName('%irrelevant%')
       QtCore.QCoreApplication.setOrganizationDomain(%irrelevant%')
       QtCore.QCoreApplication.setApplicationName('%irrelevant%')
Where in needs to be

Code:
      QtCore.QCoreApplication.setOrganizationName('%irrelevant%')
       QtCore.QCoreApplication.setOrganizationDomain(%irrelevant%')
       QtCore.QCoreApplication.setApplicationName('%irrelevant%')
       settings = QtCore.QSettings()
It results in a situation where multiple packages garbage the file ~/.config/Unknown\ Organization.conf

I hope that simple grep in postinst script will suffice for moving this settings after fixing the code.

I've already sent message to the RIP author
Another one is some PlayStation emulator but I don't remember which one I've installed.

I have never installed eithier of the to above packages but I too have found an Unknown Organization.conf in .config.

The file starts

[General]
cache="@ByteArray(long value in this bracket with lots of \'s)"
cache_version=14

Any ideas which package could have made it so I can report?
