kbgndwm is executed too early in /usr/bin/startkde. When the check for the $HOME/.kde directory is reached in this script, > if [ ! -d $HOME/.kde ]; then > cp -a /etc/skel/.kde $HOME > fi kbgndwm has (sometimes) already written $HOME/.kde/share/config/kbgndwmrc. So /etc/skel/.kde is not copied. :-( Solution: - put kbgndwm startup just behind the .kde check (leave it where it was originally) - put .kde check at beginning of file This problem is seems to be present in 6.2b too.

This was fixed in 6.2
