settings change for all users

When I first installed kde I only had the root user.
I changed kde (menus, panel, desktop, themes etc) as root. Now I have a regular user added I have to go through the whole process again of getting kde to look how I want it.

Basically I want kde to look exactly the same for both root and user but cant be bothered making changes twice.

ie If I install a program and add a link to the panel as root can I get it to automtically make the change for user too? Or vice versa.
Is there a set of config files I could copy to this happen?

Hope this makes sense!

Many Thanks
Rik

RE: settings change for all users

You can let the root user symlink to the user. For example (as root):

Source code

 
1

ln -s /home/user/.kde/share/config/kickerrc /root/.kde/share/config/kickerrc

Or you link the whole ~/.kde directory instead of a couple of configuration files, but that may cause undesired side effects.
