If so, and have set it up in both Windows and Linux, try moving your Windows setup's World of Warcraft/WTF/Account directory into Dropbox, then create a symbolic link for the directory from Dropbox as World of Warcraft/WTF/Account in both Windows and Linux, replacing what is there. Perhaps this will fix whatever issue on the Linux side, and as a bonus any changes you make to addons or character settings on one setup will be auto-mirrored on the other. (Also backed up.) Any system settings, like for graphics, won't be mirrored but you wouldn't want that anyway. -- Yeechang Lee <yl...@columbia.edu> | San Francisco
