That would be a good solution, too.
A system-wide configuration, comparable to files like:
/etc/bash.bashrc /etc/csh.login /etc/csh.cshrc /etc/ksh.kshrc /etc/profile
Well, the files are already there. Settings in /etc/opt/kde3/share/config will be used if there is nothing in the user's own home directory. So if you don't have your own kickerrc, the one in the global directory will be used
And if you do have a kickerrc, but don't have a particular variable configured that is configured in the global version of the file, it will be picked up from there.
Does KDE read /etc/opt/kde3/share/config/kickerrc before reading ~/.kde/share/config/kickerrc? What if the same variable is set in both places? Does the the kickerrc in the user's kickerrc override the setting in the system kickerrc? Is there a way for the system admin to "lock" a variable so that users can't change it? (My guess is no, since that tends to violate the whole spirit of both Unix, and of Linux even more.)
So the system is in place. What I want is a nicer way of using it
I think I'll file a feature request
That sounds like a good idea. Either that, or there's a way of manipulating it for your purpose that we haven't figured out.
