Version: 2.4.1 (using KDE KDE 3.4.2) Installed from: Slackware Packages Compiler: gcc version 3.3.6 OS: Linux (i686) release 2.4.26 I change some ToolBar settings (ie. Text position) and close Kate. In $HOME/.kde/share/config/katerc I found [Kate Main Window Toolbar mainToolBar] IconText=IconTextRight When re-open Kate the settings are lost and in the katerc the previous line are lost.
This is still present in KDE 3.5 branch. Moreover, the sidebar status (hidden or shown) is not stored either, probably it's the same bug as with the toolbars.
Confirmed as well on kde svn 3.5 branch 16 September. Toolbar status comes back to default as well as sidebar status.
try turn on the "save window config" in the session config page, should be default on I guess, will fix that
