I want to set some defaults for Konsole that take effect for all users but can't work out where to put them.
Konsole is keeping it's per-user settings in ~/.kde4/share/apps/konsole/.profile
As far as I can see there is no global equivalent of this file:

Code: Select all

mike@continuity:~$ kde4-config --path config
/home/mike/.kde4/share/config/:/usr/share/kde4/config/:/etc/kde4/share/config/

So where should I put global settings for Konsole?

Also how does it work that there is configuration being stored in /home/mike/.kde4/apps/ when that path is not in the output of kde4-config?

Config files are stored in $KDEHOME/share/config while Application data is in $KDEHOME/share/apps

Code: Select all

trunk@grace:~> kde4-config --path data
/home/trunk/.kde4-trunk/share/apps/:/opt/trunk-kde/kde/share/apps/:/etc/kde4/share/apps/

I've figured it out. Create a file containing the settings I want using /usr/share/kde4/apps/konsole/Shell.profile as a template. E.g. Create a file called myprofile.profile
Then create /usr/share/kde4/config/konsolerc which contains the lines

[Desktop Entry]
DefaultProfile=myprofile.profile
