Version: unspecified (using Devel) OS: Linux Hi, in mandriva we use /etc/kde4rc to define profiles where we store our default configuration. we have /var/lib/mandriva/kde4-profiles/common/share/config/plasma-desktop- appletsrc which was used at first login as default config file but since kde 4.7.95 this doesn't work anymore ( was working in kde 4.7.91 ) Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: use a kde4rc file to point to config files, in mdv we have : [Directories-default] prefixes=/var/lib/mandriva/kde4-profiles/common,/var/lib/mandriva/kde4-profiles/free Actual Results: Default vanilla kde desktop is started Expected Results: Mandriva customised desktop
Since we're using currently the same solution to provides a different panel we're also affected on mageia. Is there anything i can do to provides more information ?
Reversing this commit ( https://projects.kde.org/projects/kde/kdelibs/repository/revisions/7daa7c1f96a092ca8a72a2c0686d0f5adb6cfe35 ) fix the issue for me.
using rc files for defaults for plasma-desktop is incorrect and can lead to other issues. there has been a replacement mechanism that is far more powerful for at least the last 3 releases, perhaps 4: javascript desktop scripting. see: http://techbase.kde.org/KDE_System_Administration/PlasmaDesktopScripting there are also a number of examples to be found in the kdeexamples git module (https://projects.kde.org/projects/kde/kdeexamples) in the plasma/javascript/shell-scripting directory.
