Let's not close bugs for no reason.

I think I've seen this bug somewhere already, let's keep it up until we get time to deduplicate the bug reports.

If I had to take a guess, this is a duplicate of #1326
Or one of the other dozens of SNAFUs when anything that isn't an alphanumeric character is found inside the config file

I'm having a similar issue. I accidentally knocked the ".local" off my hostname in the GUI and now barrier just repeatedly crashes, spamming a generated config file in a temp directory and spamming the log with an unknown screen name issue.

I can't figure out where Barrier gets its configuration settings either, as deleting all config files doesn't help. Is there a special config file somewhere else?
