Re: colour-scheme issue.

Just in case I am doing something wrong.. here is what I do.. PLEASE let 
me know if I am..

this is on a debian based distro, actually kubuntu base distro..

I created a path: 
/usr/share/mydistro-default-settings/kde-profile/default/share/config/
in config I have "kdeglobals"

in KDE globals I add this line:
under [KDE]

colorScheme=mydistroColours.kcsrc

of course I edit /etc/kderc and kde knows about this path:
I know cause I run:
kde-config --path config  and I get
/home/user/.kde/share/config:/etc/kde3:/usr/share/mydistro-default-settings/kde-profile/default/share/config:

so what does my color scheme is not working as default in the system?
I wipe  ~/.kde  and when I log in it will still show the old default 
scheme(the regular kde blues etc)

this is the place to ask for this.. KDE lists :-) if people don't know 
here is going to be tuff to me to find out some other place... :-(


Cheers
Chris
