I have limited patience with "run your life" things like KDE and
Gnome.  I use fvwm.

Anyway under OpenBSD 5.7 i386 I installed digiKam from ports.  Start
it up, it wants a default save directory.  I gave it one but it may
not be able to write there depending what user it's running as.  Then
it crashed with a signal 11 and does this every time I try to run it
now.

So I installed the digicam-doc port.  Once I tracked down where it
installed (/usr/local/share/doc/HTML.kde3/en/)  I find no readable
documentation (html, pdf, etc) in there, just some *.docbook files.
Inside a bz2 file there is an index.cache which when I unpack it and
rename to index.html it links in the images and mostly works properly.
Links to subsections like using-camerasupport.html don't.

It would be nice to make a pdf from these docbook files but there's no
man page for docbook (it's installed), or digikam.  Someplace there's
probably an rc file I can edit to change the default save directory
then maybe it won't crash every time it starts.

I'm not sure it's what I'm looking for anyway, I'm looking for more of
a GUI frontend to libgphoto2 allowing setting camera parameters then
taking pictures rather than post-processing.  I use Gimp with ufraw &
dcraw for that.  Something like controlmynikon and controlmycanon for
Windows is what I was hoping for.
