Hi Srinivas,

That suggestion, to change the desktop shortcut, wasn't mine.  *grin*


But look near the bottom of that message for my reply about the
configHandler problems.  What's going on is probably bug 1080387:

If you move off your '.idlerc' in your home directory to somewhere else,
IDLE should be able to regenerate its configuration files.
