I have observed that in gedit if I edit a file, another file is created in the same directory (the one with the same filename and a tilde '~' suffix). The extra file remains even if I close gedit.

I understand the need for a temp file (eg. in case of a crash), but vim for example deletes the extra file it creates, when I close it.

Is there a way to do the same with gedit? Some configuration perhaps?

I'm trying to change the default applications in Ubuntu 11.10 and I fail to do so.

I go to system info > default applications and I make some changes. If I close and reopen the system info window, the changes have reverted to the old ones.

Also if I go to a .avi for example > properties > open with and I try to set as default something else, I get

Could not set as default

Error while setting "VLC media player" as default application: Failed to create file '/home/george/.local/share/applications/mimeapps.list.WCOC3V': Permission denied

I have 2 monitors in my desktop. The one has a smaller resolution than the other (don't know if it matters for this issue). From Display I have disabled mirroring, so the first monitor continues to the other.

Today I installed Braid. When I launch it, it goes fullscreen. When I quit the game, the setting have reverted to the mirroring of monitors (and with the smaller resolution), and I have to set them up each time.

Is there a solution for that?

The GPU is sapphire radeon hd 3870, haven't install any extra drivers for the GPU, 64bit CPU, using gnome-shell
