We don't log in at the same time. But what do I win with rsync. I read 
the man-page and as far as I could find out you can preserve the 
ownership of a file. But you can't change it. So I have to do a chmod on 
all the files as well. So why is it better than a cp x y in a 
~/.kde/Autostart/copy_mozilla file?
