There is no LinuxDC++.xml file in that directory though there is a DCPlusPlus.xml if that is what you mean.
There is also a profile.lck but it is empty.  Perhaps this is the issue?  Does that need to contain the profile information?  All other settings save.

Bug description:
The first time the program is started, it should open the preferences dialog to indicate to the user that some information is required before using the program. This information should include nickname, encoding, and anything else I'm missing (suggestions?).

In addition, it should not allow the preferences dialog to be closed unless the aforementioned values are entered. As a special case, if the user selects UTF-8 as their encoding (directly or indirectly by "System default"), display a warning dialog with a don't show me again option indicating that UTF-8 doesn't work right for most NMDC hubs and recommending they choose a different encoding.
