Created attachment 115461 [details] Warning message screenshot SUMMARY Konsole shows annoying "Config unwritable, contact your system administrator" message, while this is actually desired (my configuration files are managed by home-manager utility, which creates them read-only). Either this warning should be shown not on startup, but while opening "Settings" of Konsole, or there should be a configuration option to disable this altogether, as konsole is able to operate just fine after I close the dialog (configuration is parsed correctly). STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. chmod -w $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/konsolerc 2. konsole OBSERVED RESULT A message shows up: https://snag.gy/Tqe5ma.jpg or see attachment EXPECTED RESULT Konsole opens without the dialog SOFTWARE VERSIONS Kate: 18.08.1 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION I am on NixOS (nixos-unstable channel) with i3 as window manager and home-manager as dotfiles manager.
I agree that this is annoying - I don't recall off-hand why the dialog was added upon startup. I would think that perhaps showing a desktop message if any changes are attempted to be saved would be better.
Confirmed on latest from git master. This should be only in configuration dialogs or maybe a don't show again tickbox.
It is in kconfig framework, not konsole. KSharedConfig::openConfig ask once, when reading the config file for the first time.
