KDE default config

[Achim Bohnet <ach@mpe.mpg.de>]

Hi,

o kdmrc
	please set SystemPath and UserPath to debians default:

	ach@lost(0) ~ $ grep PATH= ~root/.profile
	PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin/X11
	ach@lost(0) ~ $ grep PATH= /etc/profile
	PATH="/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/bin/X11:/usr/games"

	Last time both, System- and UserPath were set to PATH of root.
	Maybe kde expects some tools from /usr/sbin also in the path
	of normal mortal users.  Daniel, Chris what was the reason?

o remove /etc/kderc

	There's no need for /etc/kderc as long as there a /usr/share/default.kdeglobals
	(but /etc/kderc can produce confusing result when a local kde-cvs binary
	incompatibe installation exists)

lost[0] ~ # sh /home/ach/kdeconf > kde.with
lost[0] ~ # mv /etc/kderc{,.ignore}
lost[0] ~ # sh /home/ach/kdeconf > kde.without
lost[0] ~ # diff -u kde.with kde.with
lost[0] ~ #
lost[0] ~ # cat /home/ach/kdeconf
#!/bin/sh
unset KDEHOME || true
unset KDEDIR  || true
unset KDEDIRS || true
for d in `kde-config --types | awk '{print $1}'`; do
        echo $d = `kde-config --path $d`
done

o kmail  /var/mail/<user> mbox

	with a 'fresh' kde user: Start kde and add /var/mail/<user>
	as alocal mbox file. T he locking is 'procmail lockfile' and
	not FCNTL as required by debian policy. (btw. procmail
	lockfile fails and kmail statusbar reads: 'transmission failed: could not lock /var/mail/<user>'

o khelpcenter 
	I've an empty glossary.  khelpcenter pkg does not suggest (any) packages.
	So looks like some dependencies are missing.

  To me vi is Zen.  To use vi is to practice zen. Every command is
  a koan. Profound to the user, unintelligible to the uninitiated.
  You discover truth everytime you use it.
