           Summary: Application data directory on CIFS share should be
                    supported or ignored
           Product: kde
           Version: 4.2.2
          Platform: MS Windows
        OS/Version: MS Windows
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: crash
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: unassigned-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: mayly at fet.at


Version:            (using KDE 4.2.2)
Compiler:          MSVC 
OS:                MS Windows
Installed from:    MS Windows

There is an issue when using roaming profiles. On the test installation the
"Application data" directory is given by an CIFS share. While "Documents and
Settings" are locally. 4.2.1 just placed the ".kde" directory into the latter
one while 4.2.2 uses "Application data" which now breaks KDE on this
installation because CIFS shares are not supported.

kbuildsycoca4.exe says: "trying to create local folder //atlas: Invalid
argument"

By using the local "Application data" directory in "Local Settings" this should
work for all installations. Later, when CIFS support in KDE is working, the
regular "Application data" should be used.

BTW, I am lazy to file a new bug for this but when you are doing this, you
could rename ".kde" to "KDE" -- two birds one stone.
