When winsys configuration is defined in layers and something is wrong there is not much possibility to find what is wrong. This would save time of module writers. I mean to add some logs what is winsys persistence code doing like: Loading Window Manager Properties: ... Loading Mode: Properties: ...
Done. Debug log messages are added. Use -J-Dorg.netbeans.core.windows.persistence=0 or -J-Dorg.netbeans.core.windows.persistence.<class name>=0 where <class name is some parser class like WindowManagerParser when you want to monitor what configuration files are loaded/saved.
