I really don't tweek my system much beyond the default install.  I think=20
putting spell check in the tookbar of kmail is the only definitive change=

make to my system.  A quick browse through: ~/.kde/share/config/ contains=

quite a bit of settings the vast majority of which are default values.  S=
