customizing dispVM not working

[cubit]

Hello,

I am trying to customize a dispVM on qubes 3.2 but I can not get the customization to take. I am doing the following

dom0:
`qvm-run -a fedora-23-test gnome-terminal`

In the resultant gnome-terminal I am doing
`firefox`

When firefox launches I am setting duckduckgo as my homepage

I quit firefox

I `touch /home/user/.qubes-dispvm-customized`

I `poweroff` fedora-23-test from the gnome-terminal I opened.
 
I set the template to default dvm
`qvm-create-default-dvm fedora-23-test`

I then start the disposable firefox from XFCE application menu.

Firefox starts but does not have the custom start page but the standard http://start.fedoraproject.org.

I tried similar with nautilus changing from icon to list view but it also does not take.

This was working OK in 3.1. Am I doing something wrong in 3.2?

No, that's exactly the same in 3.2.
I remember a thread about this some time back - what you're doing is
exactly right. All I can suggest is that you make sure that the change
has "taken" in the template, and ensure that it has stopped running
before you run qvm-create-default-dvm.

Well that's good to know :o)

starting firefox from the template shows the changes as I want and `qvm-ls`  before I run `qvm-create-default-dvm` shows that the template is not running.

All quite strange.

Sometimes it helps to remove the existing dvm file using qvm-remove
before running through the process.
