Description (last modified by )
When the BOINC Manager saves window settings and other state information it does so to the file called ".BOINC Manager", which has a space in the name. Spaces are generally bad in filenames in Unix, so I suggest that this be changed to .BOINC_Manager.
This has caused me problems in creating an rpm to install on Linux.
To be backward compatible the Manager could always write .BOINC_Manager but for reading it could look for the version with a space if the version with an underscore is not found.
