rules, a tool `qubes-kde-win-rules` is provided to assist you.

Qubes backup has also improved, you have a profile provided as an example on
how to do backups with native Qubes OS tools. Use the tool
`qvm-backup-find-last` to find the last Qubes Backup made locally to a qube or
a remote system, this facilitates verifying the last backup made with
`qvm-backup-restore --verify-only`. An example is provided in
`/etc/qubes/backup/qusal.conf.example`.
