Right, but doing it one time will give you hints which files are actually modified in which way. I guess it will modify kickerrc and depending on the change or amount of changes it can be re-done in a script using kwriteconfig. As far as I know there are two options: 1) a kind of startup script, i.e. autostarted but running as each user, uses kreadconfig/kwriteconfig or other scripting tools to modify the user's kickerrc accordingly 2) use a KDE config update script. This is something I am not 100% sure about. KDE has a mechanism to run some kind of config updaters when application configs change between versions. On my system they are located in /usr/share/apps/kconf_update, so in generic KDE terms this would be a subdirectory called "kconf_update" in any path listed by % kde-config --path data As a sysadmin and in cases where the modification must be there can must not be removed by the user, it would probably also be possible to modify (or create) a global kickerrc with the neccessary changes and mark the as immutable (using the Kiosk [1]) Cheers, Kevin [1] http://techbase.kde.org/KDE_System_Administration/Kiosk/Introduction -- Kevin Krammer, KDE developer, xdg-utils developer KDE user support, developer mentoring
