I don't really care if it's fixed or anything, I just need the closure. It is just one of those annoying things that keeps bugging you even it's not that big a deal.
Should I bother cat-ing all .conf files in my phone trying to find where is that information stored or is it just a bug with WONTFIX status?
Try this: remove MMC card, check default save location, make new backup (settings only)...reboot, insert MMC card, restore settings from backup you've just made.
It sounds stupid but it helped me to save widgets position on home screen.
