Permissions is often my first thought and frequently an answer to an issue I may have. However in this situation I have no idea what I'm looking for. Browsing through ~/.kde it APPEARS that my user has at least rw permissions on everything though there are a heap of sub-folders and files to look at. The permissions do vary a little with the roger group sometimes having rw, sometimes not. So I don't know for sure whether this is an issue or not. And I'm not prepared to blindly do some sort of global chmod +rw !!

I should add at this point that this installation of kubuntu made use of the previous SuSE home folder which basically went without any problem at all, aside from some minor reconfiguration of email etc. So this would lend support to the theory that it is a permissions thing. Anyone have any clues about what/where I ought to focus? I am googling, but there's lots of stuff about permissions and I haven't found my answer yet.

Cheers,
Roger

Anyone struck this before or know what might be stopping it being
configured?  kubuntu gutsy.
