Hi, I'm a multi-boot guy ( used to be a dedicated kde guy until I
figured out that the future of kde {>=4.x} is NOT my cup of tea.)
Now I'm in the process of learning how to get/use/and configure e17 on 3
different linux distros on both an old athalon x86 desktop and an amd_64
laptop. This idea of fixing application font issues on startup with
this kcminit is good news to me! But you specifically mentioned using
an established e17 session... This makes me doubt that I can feed it
to e17 via the .xinitrc file... I suspect that would be for the same
reason(s) why I can't run enlightenment_remote commands in an xterm
started via the .xinitrc. Two questions:
1) How would I get it to run automatically on E17 startup?
(I mean I don't see it listed in the list of applications
in settings>settings pannel>apps>startup applications.)
2) Does anybody know if kcminit still works in kde4.x???
(Since I'm liable to keep kde around for the applications I'm
used to, even when I can't stomach it's "improved" interface.)
When/if I ever finish with a learning experience installing e1t
to my Sabayon via portage I'll probably fire up e17 on my
kubuntu intrepid and empirically test kcminit in it's (my
only) kde4 environment. If it works I'll follow up on this
message. But if it's a new command like they replaced
kcontrol with systemsettings, I wouldn't have a clue what to
try. So any clues/suggestions would be most welcome.
Thanks!
