In the LLL highschools, we modify certain settings

ago, this overwriting of config files used to be a huge problem.
Nowadays it is solved for most cases.
Well, last time I changed something in xorg.conf in SuSE 10, I was
unable to change apparently unrelated things in YaST, for example the
keyboard settings. I clicked, and nothing happened, no error message.
It appears that those functions all use SaX2. When I ran SaX2 from the
command line, it complained about an invalid checksum. I had to run
`sax2 -r` to rebuild the checksums, after which that part of YaST worked
again.
So I believe that you can still run into those troubles today.
