Re: Where kde saves user settings ?

2017-03-19 Thread John
no w. One side effect of it on opensuse seems to be that it's now not possible to log into a shell. Might be a problem elsewhere but suspect not. I'm told that if someone logs into a shell assuming kde will be used that it sees it's not installed and promptly adds a number of folders. It's been sort of fun. All I wanted to do was to create some truly isolated desktops to play with for fun. Compiz etc. The only way I can find out what is going on is via system wide content searches They take ages. Some one at one point thought yes it would be a good idea to be able to exclude directories from searches in dolphin but it never happened. Kfind could do that but doesn't unless the locate index is used. ;-) I'm moaning. A number of people think that the only way to get a true feel for another desktop is to use a vm. It shouldn't be needed and then I find any desktop is a bit of a mess in this respect all it seems down to the distro's. I have seen kde provide different menu's for different users in the past but only if I used the desktop as root. I assume they still aim for things to work like that for all. The first time I logged in a root all it had was a console. I complained on here. A later release had some sensible bits and pieces in it. Now it's exactly the same as my normal desktop. ;-) I'd had enough of various styles of console editors years ago so wont use them unless they are the only way to do something. Many things can be done from the desktop anyway. Dangers are all down to the user. All I need do if I mess up a system file is just replace it with the backup or create several and try each one. Only a few shell commands are needed to do that. I don't use it often enough to remember many. John -
