If $XDG_CONFIG_DIRS is either not set or empty, a value equal to /etc/xdg should be used. ... $XDG_CONFIG_HOME defines the base directory relative to which user specific configuration files should be stored. If $XDG_CONFIG_HOME is either not set or empty, a default equal to $HOME/.config should be used. So, in short, use /etc/xdg instead now. Keep in mind, kde4 applications continue to work as before (and uses /etc/kde/) _______________________________________________ kde mailing list kde@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/kde New to KDE4? - get help from http://userbase.kde.org
