Description of Problem: Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 2.1.1 How Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Create a new account - with no .kde directory 2. Populate /etc/skel/.kde/ 3. Log in as the new user Actual Results: startkde creates .kde/share/config and sets up selected files within it (emaildefaults and font settings in kdeglobals, konquerorrc & kdesktoprc). But the contents of /etc/skel/.kde aren't copied across. Expected Results: The full contents of /etc/skel/.kde ought to be installed for the new user. Additional Information: /usr/bin/startkde creates .kde/share/config (line 78) *before* checking whether to copy across /etc/skel/.kde (lines 90-92) The second check will then automatically fail. Creating the config directory ought to be done after copying the template .kde (but before checking for the emaildefaults file)
This is fixed in the current version.
I've just installed RedHat Linux 7.3, and the same problem is still present. $HOME/.kde is created (line 44 of startkde) *before* checking whether to copy across /etc/skel/.kde (lines 56-58). So this later test always fails, and the skeleton config is never installed. The "mkdir -p $HOME/.kde/share/config" needs to be moved to come after the installation of /etc/skel/.kde. I've tested this, and it does fix the problem.
it's fixed in current release
