I'll browse through the existing fedora repository and kde-apps.org to see if there is anything to make use of it. Also, a user I was helping last night wanted a locally shared (filesystem, between users) folder... seems like it's something that should be easy. It was easy for me, but I am not sure how a regular user would approach the problem. It may be useful to have a /usr/shared (or similar) and ln -s /usr/shared /home/*/Desktop/Shared -- Fedora 9 : sulphur is good for the skin ( www.pembo13.com )
