Probably the problem is caused by the win build storing its preferences in the program dir (I think) instead of the home dir. I will now commit a fix which you'll need to test on windows. I'm not sure g_get_home_dir() works on windows, but if it does, it's the correct way to solve the problem. It should return the dir in your $HOME environment variable, and if there's none, I think it will return C:.
Committed. Now the win build is supposed to store prefs in $HOME/.inkscape/preferences.xml so it stays unchanged when you upgrade the program. Please report if it works or not.

Okay, cool. Ignore my last message, then. What you did is the right behavior.

Using Win32 build20040103.
This does not work. It is still overwriting my preferences.xml. This file gets generated at c:\program files\Inkscape\inkscape\preferences.xml.

I'm still having trouble with updating/modifying references. I have been looking at builds 031231, 040102 and 040103 (the latest I have access to).
With the first two builds Inkscape generates a preferences.xml. I can then modify it and Inkscape will use the modifications on its next run. This I can live with although preferences.xml will get overwritten if I reinstal Inkscape.
With the latest build (040103) Inkscape generates a preferences.xml. I can modify it and Inkscape will NOT use the modifications on its next run. This is terrible. It is worse than the previous two builds, since I now cannot change preferences.

It would be just my luck for Bob to post a new build fixing these problems while I am sumitting this. But hey that would be good too.
