           Summary: kdeglobals is not written until changes are made in
                    systemsettings
           Product: kde
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Compiled Sources
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: unassigned-bugs kde org
        ReportedBy: guitarist198 yahoo com


Version:           4.0.73 >= 20080507 "release 1.6" (using Devel)
Installed from:    Compiled sources
OS:                Linux

Distro: openSUSE 10.3, KDE 4.0.73 >= 20080507 "release 1.6" (VirtualBox 1.6.0)

I stumbled upon this while writing a script which looked at kdeglobals to determine the user's current icon theme.  With kde3, even a fresh install has all the information in the kdeglobals variable from the start. 

With the kde snapshot mentioned above, the kdeglobals file only contained this:
"[$Version]
update_info=kaccel.upd:kde3.3/r1"

The file is only updated with all of the useful information after one makes changes in the systemsettings.  For example, I changed the icon theme and then the kdeglobals file was written with all the information needed.
