Sounds reasonable - I think it's a bit unfair to expect apps to respond to changes in their config files without a restart of the app, or at least a SIGHUP. (Plus, it would change the behaviour of a running app if the config file was changed unexpectedly, which seems like a bad thing). > In any case, these methods are fine for you and me and all programmer Unix > geeks around, but are not suitable for the common user who needs a GUI and > easy way to achieve his/her goal. Well, if it works for you, there's no problem :-). But on your point that there should be a GUI, I'd tend to disagree: your situation seems like an unusual one, and GUIs can't be expected to handle every single corner case. ICBW, though, so you might want to request such a GUI as a wishlist on bugs.kde.org - it might be easy to implement. > Thanks a lot, anyway.
