This is bad, because 
a) people who already know KDE do not want to write a document, they want the 
specific app that they know
b) people who do not know KDE will be stuck with their selection forever if 
you do not teach them how to configure Kicker or make it *really* easy. 
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...
