Description of Problem: There's a bug in /usr/bin/startkde. On line 44, it performs: [ -d "$HOME"/.kde/share/config ] || mkdir -p "$HOME"/.kde/share/config which makes sure $HOME/.kde exists. Then down on line 56 it performs the test: if [ ! -d "$HOME"/.kde -a -d /etc/skel/.kde ]; then ( cd /etc/skel && tar cpf - .kde ) | ( cd "$HOME" && tar xpf - ) fi Given what happened on line 44, there's no way to pass this test. So the contents of /etc/skel/.kde will never get copied to the user's directory. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How Reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual Results: Expected Results: Additional Information:
There isn't more: if [ ! -d "$HOME"/.kde -a -d /etc/skel/.kde ]; then ( cd /etc/skel && tar cpf - .kde ) | ( cd "$HOME" && tar xpf - ) fi in Fedora Core, so IMHO this bug should be closed, but I'll leave it for Ngo Than, because maybe there is some "hidden" bug in this report ;)
it's already fixed in the current FC release.
