Yeah, I thought about that option. It has two problems, though, the
first is that I have allready created all accounts I need, the other is
that it hasn't got mechanisms for further updates.
So, if there are no mechanisms allready in place, I guess that what I'll
do is to create an account with the settings and then copy it over to
the allready existing accounts (which doesn't have much of a KDE setup
anyway). Later updates has to be done by editing user's files as
superuser, I guess... This isn't really optimal, but it works...
Best,
Kjetil
