Bug 19098 – KDE Configuration

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED INVALID

[Description Heinrich Wendel (RETIRED) 2003-04-10 15:16:44 UTC]

/etc/kde should be a symlink to /usr/kde/3.1/share/config


and /etc/X11/xdm should be a symlink to /usr/kde/3.1/share/config/kdm

[Comment 1 Seemant Kulleen (RETIRED) 2003-04-10 15:27:36 UTC]

why?

[Comment 2 Heinrich Wendel (RETIRED) 2003-04-10 17:05:48 UTC]

Configurationfiles should be located in /etc :) 

[Comment 3 Michele Balistreri (RETIRED) 2003-04-11 17:39:55 UTC]

why they should be in /etc? 

[Comment 4 Heinrich Wendel (RETIRED) 2003-04-12 03:46:06 UTC]

maybe to find them oO  
 
(/etc/X11/xdm is a typo, of course it should be /etc/X11/kdm/ ;D)

kde configuration is used to be in {$KDEDIR}/share/config, so this could create 
confusion more than simplicity, or, this will neither be noticed. Also, while multiple 
version of kde can exist on the same system this can't be done. 

[Comment 6 Heinrich Wendel (RETIRED) 2003-04-12 06:17:19 UTC]

Then name the symlink kde3.1 or something like that, it took me a lot of time to find the kdm config 
files, which I expected to find in /etc/X11/kdm. 

[Comment 7 Michele Balistreri (RETIRED) 2003-04-12 08:39:35 UTC]

you should not expect that, the standard path for kde configuration file is: 
{$KDEDIR}/share/config, but if for you a symlink in /etc can be useful, you are free to 
make it on your system
