Considering the time stamp of the participants, true. What flummoxed me was the
location. The convention for the .config directory originally was in this
format $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/subdir/filename, so I was looking for
.config/kde/configuration file location. It never occurred to me they would be
in the base of the .config file. The KDE configuration file location has
shifted a time or two since it was originally released so I was actually poking
around the ./local directory looking. The issue wasn't a major file to me and I
knew I'd eventually get around to finding an answer. I do wish the files would
eventually follow the convention, but innovation doesn't occur without breaking
a rule or two and the growth of Linux, KDE and the other windowing systems is
phenomenal. When I ran across it in 1995 you had to know the specific hardware
configuration and chipset of the video card to get X to run and all the apps
had to be built in order to run. It was a daunting experience but I knew OS/2
was in it's death spiral and I was desperate not to be forced into using any
Microsoft products at home. I switched to Linux full time in 1997 and the
change from the 1995 version was profound. The growth and maturity has
continued to defy my expectations and I don't see that changing.
