An excellent tip!

 I run into the problem with my hot plug devices.  If I have things 
plugged in when the system is turned on, then I have to be root to 
unmount them.  Pain in the ass to pull up the console when the unmount 
item is just sitting in the menu and I can't use it.  Maybe I need to 
see if I can edit that popup. 

That's one thing I really like about KDE, if you look hard enough, you 
can find out how to do anything!  Worst case scenario, download the 
source, make your changes and then recompile. 

Just don't think about upgrading if you do that, unless you're careful 
on how you do your implementation.  Better to join the KDE Developers if 
you're going to go that far anyway. 

Most things can be accomplished by editing the config files.  The 
documentation is actually quite good.  Someday I might just read it all 
;)  There are some really nice articles in TuxMagazine from Mango that 
give some of the reasons we use Kubuntu and not Ubuntu.  She detests Gnome.
