Trays "deleted" by JWM Desk Manager?(SOLVED)

[WoodLark]

I edited .jwmrc-tray to add a tray at the top of the desktop. When I had gotten it looking like I wanted, I restarted JWM then I opened JWM Desk Manager to change the icon layout. I selected "Bare-No Desktop Icons" thinking this would remove all of the icons but leave the two trays. It did remove the icons, but also both trays.

I looked at .jwmrc-tray again, and all my edits had been removed, but without any backup. The original pre-edit state of .jwmrc-tray was left (bottom tray), but the bottom tray was not there.

I double-checked .jwmrc, and it still contains an "include" for .jwmrc-tray.

The Icon Layout program needs to have a warning to first click on save your custom arrangement, before making any changes.
That gives you a backup.
This program is getting old and has not been improved, was not designed for having more than one tray.

You are correct. I had missed that thread (which got off topic and kind of ugly). The last couple post look like a solution though.

This worked for me:

I think the cleanest solution is to change /etc/xdg/templates/_root_.jwmrc

Adapt <Include>/root/.jwmrc-tray</Include> so that it includes your customized and renamed file (e.g. jwmrc-grey ). Then run fixmenus and jwm -restart.
The JWMDesk can do whatever it likes to .jwmrc-tray, it just wouldn't matter since .jwmrc would ignore it.
