where is $KDEHOME ???

Hi, just had a quick question for anyone who knows this...

One of the new features of KDE 3.4 is:

KMail will store mail in $KDEHOME/apps/kmail/mail instead of ~/Mail

I was just wondering if anyone knows what ' $KDEHOME ' is...

I did an: echo $KDEHOME

but the variable wasn't defined...

is it /usr/lib/kde3 ???

Thanks

i thinks its ~/.kde (it would have to be in your home directory, users cannot write outside of that so Kmail could only be run as root if this were the case).

~/.kde is $KDEHOME on my system....

OK, for anyone finding this problem again, I found an answer that worked for me at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1399624

You probably installed KDE after the main Ubuntu or Mint - i.e. not the full Kubuntu. Anyway, you have to install the plasma-netbook package. That should do it. If it's already installed, uninstall and reinstall (it's not big).

Viva Plasma! Viva Activities! It's a really productive way to work, once you get your head around it.
