"do something stupid" - Hey, that's my forte.  If I can't break it at some point - I'm not trying hard enough.  But, seriously...

On Linux, the configuration is maintained in "/home/<userID>/.config/LibreCAD/LibreCAD.conf".  I create a backup of the entire directory,"/home/<userID>/.config/LibreCAD",  so I can switch between two different layouts.  I have a directory for a desktop with a 1280x960 resolution (LibreCAD.1280x960) and one for my preferred config (originally called "LibreCAD.myConfig").  Switching back and forth can be done by deleting the config directory and copying/renaming one of the back-up directories.

On Windows, the configuration is in the registry; "Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\LibreCAD" and/or another similar key associated with the user ID (SSID).  It is possible to create a backup of the key(s) using "regedit", but I haven't tried it.
