Dear all,

What is the best way of adding widgets/plasmoids to the desktop (or "Desktop" activity) for all users?

I know of one way which involves adding it to your the current user's desktop and copying over the relevant home-folder configuration files:

~/.config/plasma-org.kde.plasma.desktop-appletsrc

to

/etc/skel/.config/

This solution is far from perfect if I take into account I'll likely want to change or add widgets/plasmoids in the future. The only way I see this happening with /etc/skel files is by forcefully remove all user's configuration. This will likely result in users ignoring the great customisation options in kubuntu since it gets reset very often.

I have been experimenting with usr/share/plasma/shells/org.kde.plasma.desktop/contents/layout.js and js files in the updates folders but got stuck pretty quick due to lack of documentation (e.g.. where is it logged or which calls are possible).

Any help or directions towards documentations would be very much appreciated!
