their settings are gone.

Also, other data files, such as the user's entire jigsaw puzzle collection in
Palapeli, the saved solution-state of each puzzle, the saved state of a cube
in Kubrick and any games or levels in KGoldrunner that are being composed
or edited by the user --- to name a few.

Yes, it is a really serious problem, IMHO.
