The same desktops!!!

Hi there
I´m using Arch Linux and kde - and want to use the same desktops settings on all the 4 user account.. That means both menu and menu bar and all other stuff! Directly a clone of the root desktop!! How do I do that?? And If there´s other treads like this - I´m sorry, but I cant find the words correctly for using search (I´m just danisk :-) )
Thanks

RE: The same desktops!!!

It depends if the users needs to be created or not.

If the users are already created, you can copy the ~/.kde from the source user to the destination user. For the menu structure, you need to copy ~/.local as far as I know.

If the users are not yet created, copy the ~/.kde and the ~/.local directories to /etc/skel. When creating a user, the files in that directory are copied to the home directory of the new user.

BTW1: .kde contains all setting of the user at that moment. That includes password and other - proberbly private - stuff.

BTW2, you shouldn't have a root desktop, because it shouldn't be neccesairy to login as root. You can use kdesu to open a specific application as root, or su - if you want root-rights in a konsole.
