I think that a few of the listed items really need a mini howto and KDM needs an
actual howto.
There is also a need for a howto on fonts setup for KDE.
The problem I would have in writing some of these is that I would be telling
users how to correctly set things up (for Linux) as opposed to the way that the
stock KDE install from source does it. I don't know if this is acceptable.
There is one that I would suggest:
Q. Why can't Konsole find the "9x15" and the 2 "console" bit map fonts
installed with KDE.
A. FontConfig must find the three fonts installed in: "$KDEDIR/share/fonts".
If the KDE install does not install these fonts in a directory that already
exists (e.g. /usr/share/fonts) then you must add this directory to the
configuration file: "/etc/fonts/local.conf". This should be the first thing
after: "<fontconfig>". For example:
------8<------8<------8<------8<------8<------8<------
<fontconfig>
<dir>/usr/kde3/share/fonts</dir>
------8<------8<------8<------8<------8<------8<------
After adding the directory, run [as root]:
fc-cache -v
and check that it found the directory.
