Making user KDE config systemwide


Having spent a day tweaking KDE 3.3 in my personal user account, I now want to make that look and feel global to all users on the system (new system).

Which files under the ~/.kde directory do I need to copy, and where? It seems obvious that some of the config files (the ones containing my static username) will have to be changed, but if anyone can give me some pointers I'd be happy.

All themes that have been installed are system-wide, so even the theme settings should be easy to transport to a global settings.

Thanks in advance,

-Yalla!

"Which files under the ~/.kde directory do I need to copy, and where? "

When you create a new user the file tree at /etc/opt/kde3/share is copied to /home/newuser/.kde3/share.
/etc/opt/kde3/share acts as the global setting that you are looking for. So you can probably do what you want by copying the /home/prototype/.kde3/share file tree to /etc/opt/kde3/share.

Before you try this save the old /etc/opt/kde3/share somplace handy in case it does not work.
