Yep, sorry!

PLEASE everybody watch out !

I put version 0.5.10 into devel and this one resolves the /home/user problem with root/user rights. There was some strange behaviour (at least I did not know about) with conffiles and root owner. Do not ask more it took me a few versions ...

For everybody having already installed an older version of sim-switcher:
please check owner and rights for /home/user/.config/sim-switcher directory and files. It needs to belong to user, not root.
Make a copy of (or have in mind) your config. And then purge sim-switcher (apt-get purge sim-switcher), enable devel (or wait a few day until I push to testing), and do a install again (sudo apt-get install sim-switcher). I needed do to it twice to have apt set up sim-switcher correctly.
So
Code:
sudo apt-get purge sim-switcher
sudo apt-get install sim-switcher
sudo apt-get purge sim-switcher
sudo apt-get install sim-switcher
will be safe.
If you are asked to keep old or new config files (SIM1 / SIM2), then it is correctly set up. Please answer with yes ('y') to these questions at first install.

For everybody starting with >=0.5.10, you just need to say yes to config files overwriting at first install.

Please excuse this inconvenience, it was due to lack of deb packaging knowledge of mine.
