Description Vladimir Berezhnoy 2011-08-19 18:04:28 UTC

Version:           unspecified (using KDE 4.7.0) 
OS:                Linux

This directory and file keep being created every time I start kde. I believe it is not supposed to be created in / partition. Moreover I don't see a reason for this file to be created at all, why would kauth_backend evere want to store it's settings in such a way.


# cat /.config/Trolltech.conf 
[Qt%20Plugin%20Cache%204.7.false]
usr\lib\kde4\plugins\kauth\backend\kauth_backend_plugin.so=40703, 0, i386 linux g++-4 full-config, 2011-07-28T20:26:12
usr\lib\kde4\plugins\kauth\helper\kauth_helper_plugin.so=40703, 0, i386 linux g++-4 full-config, 2011-07-28T20:26:12


# ls -l /.config/Trolltech.conf
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 270 Aug 19 21:47 /.config/Trolltech.conf


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
start kde


Expected Results:  
Directory /.config should not ever be created.

The file is created by the Qt library, but it obviously should be placed in $HOME. Could you check if the file is created by user "root", i.e. during authorization?
