The settings are in $HOME/.kde. If you want to know where something is
actualy configured you can do the following:
cp -r .kde temp

diff -Naur .kde temp > patch
Then look at the content of the file "patch". For question (2) it
seems to be the file .kde/share/config/kdesktoprc, section [MiniCli].
For question (1) you can try yourself.

In general all applications keep the user-specific configurations in
$HOME/.app_name.

Hope this helps,
Mihai

Thanks...got 1 and 2...still problem with 3!

To the Linux gurus out there...when a new distro comes and it first logs in,
and you get a desktop and application settings...WHERE is this this coming
from and how do you set it up?

Gracias.

/etc/skel works, copying ~/.kde should be enough, perhaps you
aren't instructing useradd to copy /etc/skel?
"useradd ... -m -k /etc/skel ..."
'man useradd' for more info

Thank you sir...that was it...just now have to copy everything cleanly...I
guess I just need to tweak it more before the copy to /etc/skel and make
sure the profile I copy is generic as possible. Is there a guide on doing
this - I would like to standardize the users logging into the system - the
look and feel and applications.
