Description Graham Young 2009-11-03 12:43:25 UTC 
Version:           3.9 (using 4.3.2 (KDE 4.3.2), Gentoo)
Compiler:          x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-gcc
OS:                Linux (x86_64) release 2.6.31-gentoo-r4

A legacy ~/.kde4.2 directory existed at the time of compiling knotes and it may be that affected the installation, but the gentoo installation of the latest kde4 is using (at least on my computer), ~/.kde4.

The settings dialog does not contain any facility for amending this.
Comment 1 Graham Young 2009-11-03 12:48:36 UTC 
Nature of bug not clear as part of heading not printed.

Problem is that knotes attempts to write to ~/.kde4.2 when user kde files are located at .kde4 on latest gentoo system.

becaute of '.' in directory name it is not possible to do a link with :

"ln -s .kde4 .kde4.2" which would 'theoretically' solve the problem.
Comment 2 Myriam Schweingruber 2012-09-06 22:01:02 UTC 
Is this still an issue? I assume this was solved quite some time ago.
Comment 3 Graham Young 2012-09-07 11:51:39 UTC 
This is no longer an issue for me, since I no longer use knotes, or
kde desktop  and I believe kde has moved on from kde 4.2.

Changing status then. Thanks for the feedback
