Is it really needed to set up a different user? I haven't seen any ill effects on my account, but then I haven't really exercised kde4 much. Are you saying this because it's important, or because it's a good thing to do?

It is just useful, mostly because it Works for me :-) Having all settings separated just makes clear when something doesn't work, it is not unwanted interaction, it is a bug. Both KDE3 and KDE4 use the same Desktop directory. To avoid interaction, the easiest way is to create another user, and then Desktop directories are separated, just as the rest of settings. Also, on occasions I want to see default KDE4 settings and move ~/.kde4 away forcing creation of default one, but if there is already populated ~/.kde than it will attempt to import user settings in ~/.kde4. That might be the reason that some people have problems that I can't reproduce. -- Regards, Rajko http://en.opensuse.org/Portal needs helpful hands. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
