Rather find a good way to teach this than preconfigure Kicker without giving them any easy way to correct their mistakes. I would bet that some people would reinstall KDE or their distribution just to change the Kicker settings (when I started with Linux I did this a few times to change my system configuration - reinstalling with the relatively easy-to-use installation tools was easier than configuring the system by editing text files) bye... _______________________________________________ kde-usability mailing list kde-usability@mail.kde.org http://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kde-usability
