Very nice Anton. Many thanks for the writing here, and the informations has been saved here :-) : :-)
I just wish more people took note of what you say and consulted these archives.
Since consulting mailing list archives is a lost art, I wish someone would compile a big KDE FAQ on the Wiki of all these tips and link it from the forums' desktop subforum.
You wish ... And then people would have to consult the wiki instead of the list archives ... As in "you bet they will, Will!" No, really: the archives and the wiki are all indexed under Google. When researching my first recourse is the man pages then google. Google may lead me to /usr/share/doc or to the LDP or How-To or an article in Linux Journal or even mailing list archives. But Google is a key player. yes I bookmark, but somehow I seem to google before searching my own bookmarks :-( We've seen that the newbies fall into two categories: those that make the effort and those that don't. Those that don't fall into two categories: those that take the hint and those that don't. Those that don't seem to fall into two categories: those that shut up and/or go away right away and those that hang around bitching about how life is unfair and how people on the list are snarky and unfair and won't help them and tell them to "go google". If you "go google" you can find people on all the lists telling people in that final binary category to "go google". Computer Science relies heavily on recursion and loops and binary divisions. So what do these people expect when they start dealing with computers.
