Comment 17 for bug 359440

How do I get to /etc/checkbox/checkbox.ini with permission to manually add
blacklist=backend_manager? In my file system I open /etc and there is
checkbox.d but no checkbox. Are they the same? Checkbox.d does contain a
file /checkbox.ini. I don't really know exactly what to do, so I'll do
nothing until I'm sure.
