I will look that up and use it to set a reasonable system default, but still, each user ideally ought to be able to customize it, so an X server setting is not appropriate for my purpose. > > 2.

No, each user should be able to choose his own environment, which may be different from the system default. Gnome's GDM allows the user to choose his locale at login time, and remembers it for future logins, KDM appears not to have this capability, nor have I been able to find it elsewhere in KDE. Or are you suggesting that the KDE developers fundamentally do not understand that a multi-user OS may actually have multiple users? Surely that's not possible. > > 3. Mouse buttons.

This is already set up, and works in every other environment that is installed on the machine. "Break everything else to make KDE work" seems like a poor solution. Craig
