I am not experienced in KDE4 yet, but I would suggest that you copy the user settings into /etc/skel. I would only copy the ./kde/share/config directory (assuming it is a similar layout to KDE3.5), plus any others that you specifically want. And then I would route through the config directory removing all files that don't need to be set for every user, and all lines that don't need to be set and of course purge them of all absolute paths. When the new user is created it will copy /etc/skel over and hopefully it will just work. I would also make sure you know how to make settings immutable, this thread for example may be of interest: https://forum.kde.org/viewtopic.php?f=66&t=59024 But I am basing this on my KDE3.5 knowledge, so I would follow my advice cautiously. -- Chris Roberts ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
