I think a better way to solve this problem is by introducing "cascaded configuration". Basically we already have this, I just want to take it a step further. What should happen is that we have an environment var like: KDECONFIGDIRS=/opt/kde/:$HOME/.kde:$HOME/.kde-hi What happens then is that if a configuration option needs to be looked up, the last directory is looked up first. When the item is not been defined there, or when it is defined as "DEFAULT", the directory preceding it should be looked up. Although this scheme will work quite good for looking things up, I haven't figured out an easy way to save changes. The problem here is "WHERE" do you save changes in a setting?
