setting KDEDIRS
[please CC me on replies] I am trying to figure out how to best set KDEDIRS for Debian's KDE. I tried pam_env and the kdm init.d script, but as soon as startkde is called, the environment is cleaned and I can't figure out where or how. So the only way to set $KDEDIRS for startkde is to modify /usr/bin/startkde directly, which is horrible. Am I overseeing something?

Please advise! settting it in a Xsession.d script should work (done by both debian-edu-config, and desktop-profiles) -- Cheers, cobaco (aka Bart Cornelis) 1.

There is per-user possibility as a alternative to what Bart has said. Put a shell script in ~/.kde/env/, and it will be sourced at login time. HTH, because I can't recall if there was another possibility to make this system wide, without using the xsession stuff.

Put a shell script in ~/.kde/env/, and it will be sourced at login time. Well, I definitely want it system-wide. Anyhow, From what I understand, this was only added in 3.3. Sarge still has 3.2.3... HTH, because I can't recall if there was another possibility to make this system wide, without using the xsession stuff. This is a good idea. Out of curiosity, where is the environment reset??? Inside KDM? /me really wanted to use pam_env for this. :( -- Please do not send copies of list mail to me; I read the list! .''`. martin f. krafft [EMAIL PROTECTED] : :' :proud Debian developer, admin, user, and author `. `'` `- Debian - when you have better things to do than fixing a system Invalid/expired PGP subkeys?

Oh, sorry. It's true, this is only for =3.3. :-( I just want to add, that it seems that is possible to do this system wide. I found this in startkde: # Source scripts found in localprefix/env/*.sh and prefixes/env/*.sh # (where localprefix is $KDEHOME or ~/.kde, and prefixes is where KDE is installed) -- Alex (a.k.a. suy) - GPG ID 0x0B8B0BC2 http://darkshines.net/ - Jabber ID: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
