Xastir saves previous revisions of the config file as “xastir.cnf.1” through “xastir.cnf.3”. Look for them in the ~/.xastir/config directory. Kill Xastir, then copy one of the backup files to “xastir.cnf” in order to recover your previous settings. Xastir will use the “xastir.cnf” file the next time it starts up. Older Xastir versions saved only one copy of the config file as “xastir.bak”.
