We are talking about two different things here. I am aware that editing in /etc/skel/ will only affect new users, and was talking about new users. You are on the other hand talk about existing users. > When moving kickerrc to kde profiles you only make the change for every > profile and you can even use kiosktool which is very teacher friendly :-) Did you actually test this? I tried, and it did not work when I did. This is why I ended up adding this file to every new users profile using /etc/skel/. > My point is that using kiosktool you can easily make changes to the > desktop for all users or groups of users when it comes to menu, > background, themes and more but not the panel because kickerrc > created by skel has a higher priority than kickerrc in the kde > profiles. And my point is that I was unable to find a way that worked by specifying a global setting for all users, and thus believe using the file in /etc/skel/ is the only way to get the mediaapplet added to every new users desktop. > I see this as a missing feature in Debian-edu (a small one :-) ) > compared to Debian and there is no reason for this when moving your > debian-edu specific kickerrc to kde profiles works just great. Unless you have tested and found a way to get this working, I believe Debian is equally broken as Debian Edu when it comes to adding extra applets to the kde panel for all users. Do you have a tested and working patch for the debian-edu-config package to implemnt your proposal? I would love to get rid of the file in /etc/skel/, as long as the media applet still start for all users.
