One thing I can't seem to define is a default "folder view" for the desktop. Instead of the plasmoids on the desktop introduced with KDE4, I'd like my environment to behave like a "classic" desktop with folders and files on the desktop, and where a right click can - for example - create a folder. My KDE is in french, but if I remember correctly, this setup is called "Folder View" in english.
All my KDE4 desktops around here are in German (and they're on FreeBSD, but that shouldn't really matter) so the translations are not exact. Anyway, try this:
- Right-click on your desktop - Choose "Settings for Default Workspace" - From the dialog, select "Folder View" for the layout
Question: how can I define this behavior as default? Which file or stub do I have to put in /etc/skel so a newly created user's KDE defaults to "Folder View"?
After making said change in the GUI, I ran:
find ~/.kde4 -mtime -60s
to see what files have been changed within the last 60 seconds, and these two guys showed up:
~/.kde4/share/config/plasma-desktoprc ~/.kde4/share/config/plasma-desktop-appletsrc
