As of 2.3, that file is only read to produce the SQLAlias23.xml file
if it is not found.  I would expect that editing it would have no

you install 2.5 overtop of an existing installation?

Can you try temporarily moving your <user.home>/.squirrel-sql
directory to a backup folder and restarting SQuirreL.  This will tell
us if it's settings-related.
