Heyho!

Makes exaclty zero difference.

How can I debug what config files KDE tries to read when?  Documentation=20
pointers welcome, too (I despair of using Google, it's almost impossible to=
=20
tell which links are up to date and which aren't...)

Summary:
 -> trying to get a KDE with a customized by default background and bottom=
=20
panel (basically: make it easy on our non-computer-savvy userbase to migrat=
e=20
from KDE3 by using the full desktop as 'Desktop' folder view, using classic=
=20
menu style, and putting some app icons in the panel.)
 -> I'll probably have to switch off some selected desktop effects, too,=20
since parts of the users work on an NX terminal server over DSL links (this=
=20
will be critical for performance)

(all files are readable by the test user and the user is in the group buehl=

too.  Everthing is with the 4.3.2 packages currently available in Debian=20
testing.)
