If I do a close-all, save-all, exit and then delete the .lps, when I 
bring up Lazarus it's displaying a tab DbConfigCode2 pointing at the 
"incorrect" /usr/local/src/inifiles/trunk/dbconfigcode2.pas.

The issue in this case appears to be that in the .lpi file there's

     <Units Count="13">
..
       <Unit12>
         <Filename Value="..\..\inifiles\trunk\dbconfigcode2.pas"/>
         <IsPartOfProject Value="True"/>
         <ComponentName Value="DbConfigFrame"/>
         <HasResources Value="True"/>
         <ResourceBaseClass Value="Frame"/>
         <UnitName Value="DbConfigCode2"/>
       </Unit12>
     </Units>

which, if I understand things correctly, shouldn't be there since I've 
enables .lps support.

I know, but as I've said above there's a list of units stored in the 
.lpi as well. How does one clear this?
