But the problem here is with .idlerc in your home directory.
Can you find that file and ensure that read/write permissions
are set? It may be a hidden file so you might have to tweak
the View settings.
.idelrc is presumably where Idle stores your local config settings.
Although I confess I never noticed it when I used Windows. But then I
probably never had a need to notice it!
