Hi All,
I'm running Mandrake 8.2 with a few PLF packages, along with the unsupported
kde3 packages for 8.2
robby:~> rpm -q kdebase3
kdebase3-3.0.3-2mdk
I was looking through the /opt/kde3/bin/startkde script a bit. It seems to
be rather schizophenic about whether $HOME/.kde or $HOME/.kde3 is to be the
default setting for KDEHOME. I made it a bit more consistent and the diff
file is attached. The $kdehome variable should be set at the very
beginning, and then everytime a file from that directory is read or
written, the variable should be used.
I know things are likelyto have been drastically rearranged for the upcoming
9.0, not the least of which is the default installation to /usr, but I
haven't had a chance to try a beta yet. I just want to raise the issue to
make sure that first-time users don't end up having both a ~/.kde and a
~/.kde3 with the default, first-time settings split between the two.
Robby
