it's not in plasma-appletsrc. that file is for the scene (or "data model"). the view related configuration is in plasmarc.

we could write after every single key value change. i'm sure your harddisk and battery would have us for that, however.

there is a small timeout between a change happening and it being flushed to disk. this allows us to aggregate several changes (these changes tend to happen in bursts) before forcing the OS kernel to flush the changes out.

this is simply not true. right now the worst case scenario is that settings modified in the 2 minutes previous will be lost.

in any case, please stick to reporting the issues, answering questions the devs ask in return and save the coding suggestions. unless you're familiar with the code in question, chances are your insights will not be overly insightful. =)

in this case, the issue is that we aren't sync'ing plasmarc at the same time we do plasma-appletsrc. this is on my TOFIX list for 4.1.
