Summary: unmix settings and data in rc files in
.kde/share/config
Product: kde
Version: CVS
Platform: Ubuntu Packages
OS/Version: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
AssignedTo: unassigned-bugs at kde.org
ReportedBy: alpeterson at gmail.com
Version: CVS (using Devel)
OS: Linux
I am trying to set up an /etc/skel that will give me the settings I require
for KDE.
it is apparent to me that there needs to be a separation of settings and
history data. The rule of thumb should be:
If I made the change in a control panel or preferences/settings menu, It
updates the config directory. If the data comes from using it, it needs to go
into a .kde/history folder
(double click to open files, details view, turn off slow effects, disable
plasma-netbook, arrange some folder view plasmoids for Desktop, Downloads,
Documents, and /Media and a device monitor... set up a panel on the left with
simple kiker, a clock, pager, quicklaunch, configure the date format)
I would like to just copy my kde config to /etc/skel, but there are lists of
what files I have opened in kmplayerrc, dolphinrc has state in it, and History
This is not right.
Reproducible: Didn't try
Steps to Reproduce:
Try to optimize kde default settings for a multi-user system.
copy way too much stuff to the skel file
Actual Results:
Spend time trying to figure out what needs to be removed from the /etc/skel
I have not been able to set defaults at this time.
Expected Results:
copy my .kde/config directory to /etc/skel/.kde/config
no personal data would be included, it works.
I am currently using kubuntu 11.10 with kde 4.7.95 from the backports-beta
ppa
This looks like it touches a lot of programs. It looks like an alteration in
specifications is being requested. This looks like it would be technically
simple to do, but tedious.
