Another quickie:  You said that you had edited the LocalHostName into 
config.xml.  I thought this was supposed to be fixed for 0.26?

And if it wasn't there and you did put it in, has it been activated?  I 
don't know when that is supposed to happen - it seems the file is read 
quite often - but restarting X, at least, might be a good idea.

I still have mine read-only unless I know it needs changing.
