Where are settings for apps saved?

Greetings,

Just installed Mandrake. Nice OS.

Anyway, I've started using things like KOrganizer, the FTP software, and other miscellaneous things. My question is this: where are the settings and data stored for these programs?

For example I'd like to be sure that I backup the KOrganizer data when I learn how to use rsync. Is it all in the Home directory? I don't see it there.

Thanks in advance,
Mark

Most configuration files are stored in your home directory...

e.g. if you use KDE then all of it's config files will be in

~/.kde/shared

Likewise for gnome....

~/.gnome

etc.
