[Kde-kiosk] User Profiles, problems with (don't take effect)

[BTrout at mbsbooks.com]

 Suse has a rc file but its /etc/kde3rc.

I am using 3.2.3 after applying the SUSE supp for KDE    ( I got the 
lastest stuff )

But I change the menu in kiosktool I configure as root and install as root
I assigned the user that profile in kiosktool
but the menu never changes.

help.

maybe I just don't know the right steps?

Try:
                 export KDEDIRS=$(kiosktool-kdedirs)

This sets KDEDIRS to the value returned by the "kiosktool-kdedirs" utility 

that comes with kiosktool.

kiosktool-kdedirs will take a previous set $KDEDIRS into account.

With KDE 3.2.3 you do not need to set $KDEDIRS, KDE 3.2.3 will pick up the 

profile all by itself. With older versions of KDE, including KDE 3.2.1 and 

3.2.2 you need to use kiosktool-kdedirs to set $KDEDIRS.

Whenever a KDE application starts. /etc/kderc must contain the following 
two 
lines for that:

                 [Directories]
                 userProfileMapFile=/etc/kde-user-profile

kiosktool adds these lines automatically.

Cheers,
Waldo
