Comment 4 Jani Välimaa 2017-03-18 16:52:08 CET
Alternatives state file leftovers are now correctly handled. It was issue only when updating mga5 or old cauldron installations to current cauldron.

Tested several cases and updating to latest icewm{,-light}-1.3.12-13.mga6 should work flawless even there're no state file leftovers.

However, if icewm was already removed, new icewm doesn't remove anything and one needs to clean state files by hand.

Status: NEW => RESOLVED
Resolution: (none) => FIXED
