Default settings problems
I am having great difficulty finding an easy way to change defaults. Especially for GUI programs which either don't have an obvious global configuration or if they do it is undocumented. KDE: Someone mentioned the global configuration a while back, but I can't find the post. What I need to do is set up locale (to UK), screensaver and the proxy & plugin settings for konqurer centrally. Openoffice.org: How do I get this to default to British, rather than US settings. Even deleting the US dictionaries and ammending dictionary.lst dosn't do the trick. Gimp: insists on defaulting to US letter paper. Mozilla: I can't get /etc/mozilla/prefs.js to do anything useful at all. Need to be able to set the proxy, homepage and being able to configure IMAP here would be very useful. (Why does Mozilla insist on making difficult what is easy with lynx and mutt...) -- Mark Evans St. Peter's CofE High School Phone: +44 1392 204764 X109 Fax: +44 1392 204763

The general idea is that settings for a user are normally stored under $KDEHOME/share/config but that you can copy them to similar named files under $KDEDIR/share/config and that they will then get applied for everyone. The only thing you need to is then a little digging in $KDEDIR/share/config to find where the settings that you are looking for is stored. Some hints: kdeglobals - contains settings that apply to all programs, such as locale kioslaverc - settings used for io-slaves, such as proxy settings konquerorrc - konqueror specific settings kdesktoprc - desktop (background) related settings, including screensaver Cheers, Waldo -- bastian@kde.org -=|[ SuSE, The Linux Desktop Experts ]|=- bastian@suse.com
