As you can see, no modified files, no stray .ppu or .o.
But it does not compile.

I did then a completely new checkout of the IDE, then I can compile it on the command-line.

If I then start the new binary and ask to build from inside the IDE, the error with LazControlDsgn
again pops up. After I fix that, it compiles.

However, when restarting, I get attached layout. Not really nice.

If I remove the config dir ~/.lazarus (I know of no other way to fix the
layout thing), again: crash:

home:~/lazarus> ./lazarus

So, seems to me there is a combination of things happening:

- Some old config files in my lazarus tree prevent compiling - fixed by
   doing a new checkout.

- Clearly not everything is cleaned regarding compile files:
   see LazControlDsgn issue (this is in the new checkout).

- When upgrading an 'old' lazarus config, some things seem to go awry when restoring window positions.

- The IDE does not handle missing ~/.lazarus any more.

I tried using startlazarus, but this gives the same issue.
