kpersonalizer issue

[Malte Cornils <mcornils@usta.de>]

Hi,

I'm trying to setup KDE 3.0.2 from Debs here, and I'm having a problem with 
kpersonalizer. It always starts up for users that don't already have a 
.kde/share/config/kpersonalizerrc containing 

[General]
FirstLogin=false

Also, there is no way to set this system-wide (in /etc/kde3/kpersonalizerrc 
for example). At the moment, I deinstalled kpersonalizer from our 
workstations, but I'd like to still offer it for those accessing it under the 
K menu. Also, the global kpersonalizer setting worked in KDE 2.

The cause for this behaviour is hidden in /usr/bin/kde3:

---cut---
# run KPersonalizer before the session, if this is the first login
grep 'FirstLogin=false' $kdehome/share/config/kpersonalizerrc >/dev/null 
2>/dev
if test $? -ne 0; then
    # start only dcopserver, don't start whole kdeinit (takes too long)
    [...]
    kpersonalizer --before-session
    [...]
fi
---cut---

maybe the line with the grep should be extended with additionally grepping in 
/etc/kde3/kpersonalizerrc. However, that would not take the user into account 
when (s)he attempts to override the system-wide setting in her home dir, by 
setting FirstLogin=true or something. That would be rare IMHO though - why 
would a user want kpersonalizer to autostart when it's not for the first 
time?

Well, so much from me, I'm also not sure if this is a packaging issue or an 
upstream issue.

And BTW, thanks for the great work with the KDE3 packages!
