Hi,

my name is Ludwig Cornelius, I work for the city of munich. I'd have some
questions about the configuration of applications in KDE Plasma 5:

1.)
In KDE4 we use /etc/kde4rc to set a path to a kiosk profile like in kubuntu:

[Directories-default]
prefixes=/usr/share/kubuntu-default-settings/kde4-profile/default/


The profile folder contained folders like share/apps, share/config,
share/icons.

I tested this with /etc/kde5rc and /etc/kde4rc with the same content and
this doesn't work anymore.  As far as I can see in Kubuntu 17.10
(kubuntu-settings-desktop) the environment variable XDG_CONFIG_DIRS is
extended instead. Is this the new way of setting a kiosk profile?


/etc/kde5rc, as far as I tested, doesn't work anymore, though the source
code still says it should work.



2.)
When I extend XDG_CONFIG_DIRS like in kubuntu-settings-desktop in Kubuntu
17.10, I can put in this folder the *rc-Files previously found in
share/config. But what about the contents of share/apps? Wherever I put
them beneath the XDG_CONFIG_DIRS they don't seem work. I tested this with a
dolphinui.rc file to change the menu of dolphin:

<kiosk profile folder as defined in XDG_CONFIG_DIRS>
├── dolphinrc
└── kxmlgui5
    └── dolphin
        └── dolphinui.rc


Where can I put dolphinui.rc?


Config files are now in $HOME/.config/

For those files under /usr/share/plasma now the only way I tested okay is
to put your customized files under .local/share/plasma

Theoretically XDG_CONFIG_DIRS should work too but I didn't really see if
.config and .local/share/plasma work because of this environment variable.
BTW, at least I'm sure that XDG_MENU_PREFIX doesn't work.


Regards,
Franklin
