I'm trying to change some kgpg defaults for new user accounts using XDG. I have the following snippet placed in a file called "kgpgrc" in a $XDG_CONFIG_DIR directory, but there's absolutely no effect when a user runs kgpg.

Any suggestions about how to debug this?

## Disabled tray icon, because KDE minimized KGpg into the tray area by

Kgpg version ?

Earlier you wrote - viewtopic.php?f=289&p=381746#p381648 -
that you are using the Debian.

Debian Stretch ?

Debian Kgpg: https://packages.debian.org/search?keyw ... ection=all
Stretch has: Package: kgpg (4:16.08.3-1) - https://packages.debian.org/stretch/kgpg
It is for the 'old' KDE4.
The KDE4 is following the $KDEHOME -> ~/.kde or ~/.kde4
KF5 is following the $XDG_CONFIG_DIR.

You could look how the mixed (KF5 / KDE4) distributions are doing it. The Kubuntu has kubuntu-settings-desktop package: https://packages.ubuntu.com/artful/kubu ... gs-desktop . It has defaults for the kgpg (KDE4) at /usr/share/kubuntu-default-settings/kde4-profile/default/share/config/kgpgrc . The Kubuntu is using /etc/kde4rc for the KDE4.

You're right. I extracted kubuntu's settings package and confirmed what you said. My belief now is that kgpg can be affected via kde4rc but not via xdg

$ cat etc/kde4rc
[Directories-default]
prefixes=/usr/share/kubuntu-default-settings/kde4-profile/default/

$ ls usr/share/kubuntu-default-settings/kde4-profile/default/share/config/kgpgrc
usr/share/kubuntu-default-settings/kde4-profile/default/share/config/kgpgrc

$ cat etc/X11/Xsession.d/70xdg-kubuntu-dir
# Added a path to put Kubuntu Settings
XDG_CONFIG_DIRS="$XDG_CONFIG_DIRS:/usr/share/kubuntu-default-settings/kf5-settings"

$ ls usr/share/kubuntu-default-settings/kf5-settings
