I guys, maybe you can help me out here. In Kubuntu 11.10 I managed to configure /usr/share/kubuntu-default-settings/kde4-profile/default/share/config/plasma-desktop-appletsrc so that all the users I created had as default the "folderview" layout and not the upstream "Desktop" layout, as also have the widgets locked by default... It was relatively easy to do... I just configured a user the way I liked it, an then copied it's plasma-desktop-appletsrc (without the geometry entries) to /usr/share/kubuntu-default-settings/kde4-profile/default/share/config/... But in 12.04 it doesn't work... it doesn't do anything... it's like the file isn't even there.... What changed? Any thoughts or help? Any other way to do this? Thanks a lot Your's trully -- Flávio Moringa
