  Hi

  trying to upgrade web part property that is residing in a pagelayout's module element xml file like :

  <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
  <Elements xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/">
    <Module Name="PageLayouts" Url="_catalogs/masterpage">
    <File Path="PageLayouts\XXXXXXXXXXXX.aspx" Url="XXXXXXXXX.aspx" Type="GhostableInLibrary">
        <Property Name="Title" Value="pagelayout_XXXXXXXXXXXX;" />
        <Property Name="ContentType" Value="XXXXXXXX Layouts" />
        <Property Name="PublishingAssociatedContentType" Value="XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX" />
         <AllUsersWebPart WebPartZoneID="Zone1" WebPartOrder="1">

            <![CDATA[<webParts>    <webPart xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/WebPart/v3">
          <metaData> <type name="Project.project.WebParts.webpart,Project.project.WebParts, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=xxxxxxxx" />
              </metaData>       <data>   <properties>

                  <property name="Title" type="string">XXXXXXXXX</property>
                  <property name="ChromeState" type="chromestate">Normal</property>
                  <property name="ChromeType" type="chrometype">None</property>
                  <property name="ResultLimit" type="int">5</property>

              </properties>    </data>    </webPart></webParts>        ]]>      </AllUsersWebPart>    </Module></Elements>

  so lets say I wanted to change the <property name="ResultLimit" type="int">5</property> to <property name="ResultLimit" type="int">25</property>

  and used the update wsp or upgrade , there is no effect seenniether on the exisiting nor on the new created pages that is using this layout, after some searching and reading the ghosting unghosting fenomena in the in :

  and trying to revert the targeted page layout that is needed to get the effect : first it seems to be uncustomized when running the follwing ;

  $webapp = Get-SPWebApplication
  $site = Get-SPSite  http://localhost
  $web = $site.RootWeb
  write-host = $web.Title
  $pweb = [Microsoft.SharePoint.Publishing.PublishingWeb]::GetPublishingWeb($web)
  $layouts = $pweb.GetAvailablePageLayouts()
  foreach ($PageLayout in $layouts)
     {
     if( $PageLayout.ServerRelativeUrl -eq "/_catalogs/masterpage/xxxxxx.aspx")
      {
      [Microsoft.SharePoint.SPFile]$file = $web.GetFile($PageLayout.ServerRelativeUrl);
      
      write-host $PageLayout.ServerRelativeUrl
      write-host $file.Title
      write-host $file.CustomizedPageStatus
     
      }
      
      
      }
  even then trying to force that .---->file.RevertContentStream() nothing happens and the page layout wiil always be the old vesrion despite seeing that on the file sysytem under the 14 the information is changed but take no effect, the option of redeploying the wsp is not avalable as the thing in production , and even if its not on the test environemnt deploying the wsp will mess up the layout more and the pagelayout will have duplication  of the webparts , but this is even not an optiion 

  any similar experince 

  thanks
