Yes, all the config files are there. I once deleted my local config and 
started from scratch. Some apps work now, but some (e.g. Kontact) do not.

Yes, it does. Did I do that manually? What shall it be like?

Two more questions:

- Is my way of deploying a Corporate Desktop the right one (using that 
NFS-Share)?

- OT: Is there an opensource solution for deploying and managing all the linux 
workstations? So far, I just know ZENworks Linux Management. But that is not 
really a bargain.
