Are Ted's patches, that are queued up for 2.6.30, going to be applied to
F-11 (and F-10) 2.6.29 kernels or not? Asking just out of curiosity.
I sure hope they will. This is pretty much a blocker for the KDE spin.
Is there any design document about how KDE persists configuration
files? I have noticed application crashes affecting recently-applied
KDE settings in the past, even on ext3, while GConf settings seem to
be persisted to disk almost immediately.
Is KDE Doing It Wrong?

rename() is what I mean by atomic filesystem operations.
I would add that you need to fsync() the directories as well to make
sure that the rename survives a power failure. Note that in the worst
case without the directory renames, you would still have your old file
intact (and a temp file to clean up) so it is not horrible.
