I have been experiencing several odd issues regarding Lazarus configuration files:

- Project session info is not saved. This has been reported in Mantis (#17259 and #17315).

- As per the documentation, the configuration files should be stored in ~/.Lazarus
Mine are stored in the parent of the Lazarus folder, ie: ~/Programs/Lazarus/../
I deleted them once and launched the IDE. I got an error. On the 2nd launch, all seemed to be OK.

- When I update and recompile Lazarus (SVN), the object inspector sometimes disappears. I have to make it visible again and move it from the far right of the screen to my preferred location.

Any facing any of the above?

under non windows: ~/.lazarus

You can change this by passing the command line parameter

--pcp=~/Programs/Lazarus

Do you mean --primary-config-path?
In my case, it seems that it was being used, and hence the described behavior.

Is it OK to delete the config files in order to 'restore' the default settings? If yes, then an error is occurring.

Finally, the issue of the object inspector disappearing is still there.
