Not really, I agree that desktop-profiles relies on KDEDIRS as well, but desktop-profiles is intrusive and too generic for the problem of setting the "simple" default. My biggest concern goes to the per-startkde run configurability instead of a simple per-package installation configurability; it is of course possible to use desktop-profiles to solve this problem, but as I explained, I don't want to hook a piece such as desktop-profiles in 1) the default install 2) the list of things launched on every login, even over SSH. > NOTE: depending on exactly what the settings are set in the added config > set (not applicable for just setting background, splash) setting > KDEDIRS in startkde it isn't sufficient (as kde apps can be started > outside a kde-session) The current goal is to set things such as desktop-background and splash image, I think this is always in a startkde use case. > > The KDE config stuff itself is ready (be it for KDE solution 2 or 3), > > but not committed (it's from the desktop-profiles patch in the > > desktop-base BTS). > idem for the XFCE config stuff (in same patch) Indeed, thanks again! -- Loïc Minier <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
