loss of Preferences

[Willis Taylor]

I recently used synaptic, from Ubuntu 7.10, and installed KDE 3.5 
Desktop.  It's fantastic but having MS I've mostly lost the use of my 
right arm and need to operate my Track Ball from the left.  I make the 
System changes and everything is fine until I reboot.  On rebooting I 
get two messages each time;
.. The first informs me that my Preferences cannot be saved because  
/home/<my log on>/kde/share/config/koonquerorrc is not writable.
.. The second follows the same path up to /config/kickerrc and it has 
the same problem.

I went to my home file and from there created kde/share/config and there 
created the two ending files and in permissions made them writable.  
Still, I have the problem.  Please, where did I go wrong?
