- for KDE 3.5.1 link everything in /root/share/config/ instead of /root/.kde/share/config/ (bug or feature?)

Hi, I have been using Kubuntu 5.10 for the past 2 months. I have upgraded KDE to 3.5.1. I have been looking for this particular tweak and I'm glad I finally found it but I'm not entirely sure what you meant by "for KDE 3.5.1 link everything in /root/share/config/ instead of /root/.kde/share/config/" Could you please post those commands again for KDE 3.5.1? Thanks :)

I'm not sure if this has something to do with the new version of KDE or with the way it was packaged for Kubuntu. Basically (as root) substitute:

# cd .kde/share/config/
with:
# cd share/config/

and:

# cd .kde/share/apps/
with:
# cd share/apps/

It doesn't look right, though.

Does this tweak work on KDE 3.5.2 and 3.5.3?

I'm running KDE 3.5.2 and will be upgrading to Dapper soon (I hope...), so I'll have a chance to test it in KDE 3.5.3. Theoretically, this should work exactly the same way.
