Bug#582568: kdm: causes kaboom to show upgrade dialog on first root login
We investigated this issue a bit on IRC, and two workarounds were
discovered. Either init.d/kdm can set KDEROOTDIR to some more
sensible location (like /var/lib/kdm/). This will make kdm stop
creating files in the root users home directory, and is a more proper
fix.
An alternative to avoid the config migration dialog when root log in
for the first time, is to change kaboom to look for ~/.kde/share/
instead of just ~/.kde/. The files would still be created by kdm in
~root/.kde/, but the dialog would no longer show up.
Not sure which option is prefered. Perhaps both should be
implemented?
Happy hacking,
