Hi people, I don''t agree with the kde confdir path patch. KDE4 uses a non-standard /usr/share/config path as _default_ confdir but uses other methods too. It is compliant to freedesktop.org base directory specification: http://freedesktop.org/wiki/Standards/basedir-spec see http://techbase.kde.org/KDE_System_Administration/Environment_Variables for more informations. As a 2nd method, we can add additional search paths as used in desktop-base: http://techbase.kde.org/KDE_System_Administration/KDE_Filesystem_Hierarchy http://techbase.kde.org/KDE_System_Administration/XDG_Filesystem_Hierarchy btw, http://techbase.kde.org/KDE_System_Administration is a must read. I would like to avoid useless patches or quick workaround when kde provides enough flexibility to achieve what we want. cheers, Fathi
