No memory involved. That was a copy & paste from a similar question answered 
months ago on an opensuse mailing list.

Apparently I chose an inopportune time to attempt to find that file in 
Mandriva, on a fresh install that failed to install enough of KDE to be 
functional. I've done close to a dozen Cooker installation attempts in the 
past several days, all failing to install enough for me to log into either X 
or a console.

/usr/share/apps/plasma/layout-templates/org.kde.plasma-*/contents/ has them 
on my latest failed Cooker installation.

Good to know. Thanks! :-)
