If you do that you need a full copy of the mimetype+apps+services+servicetypes stuff in ~/.kde, otherwise it won't work... > I don't think 500 users stat'ing our /usr/KDE hierarchy once in a second > over NFS would be a good idea. I thought KDirWatch was quite efficient, but I'm not sure. I think the best would be to try this out, and if it's really slow, one solution is to run kded only once, to kill it (so that you get your ksycoca file), and re-run it manually evertime you want a change to be taken into account... -- David FAURE david@mandrakesoft.com, faure@kde.org http://home.clara.net/faure/ KDE, Making The Future of Computing Available Today
