On a related note, I've been meaning to ask something for a while.  In KDE4, 
would it be possible to divide up the config areas to the equivalent of /etc 
and /var.  Ie a (semi) read-only area and a read-write area.

The reason I'm asking is that I keep my entire $HOME in subversion.  During 
normal operation things like bookmarks.xml are constantly being changed for 
no reason (the visited count gets updated).  If, for instance, bookmarks.xml 
could be split into two files, one containing my list of bookmarks and one 
containing my visited count, I could put only the infrequently changing file 
into subversion and leave the other one out.  Other candidates for this could 
be kopete/msnpictures, etc.

Since most (all?) KDE programs use KConfig, is that something that can be 
(relatively) easily fixed in one place?

Comments?
