You can run kcmshell4 manually (see kcmshell4 --list). We could solve co- installability of the systemsettings binaries, but that would just lead to big confusion in the UI. > Settings which should ideally be common are saved in different files : > for example mouse settings (SingleClick, WheelScrollLines, > DoubleClickInterval, ...) are in ~/.kde/share/config/kdeglobals for KDE4 > and in ~/.config/kdeglobals for KF5. In Plasma 5/KF5, the .kde folder is abandoned in favor of the XDG-standardized folders ~/.config and ~/.local, so KDE 4 configuration is not affecting Plasma 5 apps and vice-versa. > So currently you can only configure the applications which are using the > same Qt version as the workspace, for the other you have to edit the > configuration files manually Use kcmshell4 :) > > . > Even with only one workspace (Plasma 5 or KDE4), the available widget > styles could be different for Qt4 and Qt5 applications. > > - I wanted to install plasma-oxygen for the Qt5 widget style, but it > fails since it depends on kwin, which has file conflicts with kde-workspace. > file /usr/share/config.kcfg/kwin.kcfg from install of > kwin-5.0.0-2.fc20.x86_64 conflicts with file from package > kde-workspace-4.11.11-2.fc20.1.x86_64 > Perhaps the decoration and widget style should be split in two different > packages. The upgrade path is not yet 100% polished. The current idea is that you install the whole Plasma 5 from the Copr, including plasma-desktop and plasma- workspace, which replace kde-workspace, so no conflict occurs. We should probably split kwin4 out from kde-workspace.
