different places:

<listitem><para>The hidden directory <filename>.kde</filename> (note the
|
||
|
|
period at the beginning), located in your home directory, contains a
|
||
|
|
large number of files that store &kde; settings. Some subdirectories
|
||
|
|
you may find useful are:<filename>.kde/share/config</filename>, which
|
||
|
|
contains configuration files for individual applications;
|
||
|
|
<filename>.kde/Autostart</filename>, which contains links to
|
||
|
|
applications which should start each time you start &kde;; and
|
||
|
|
<filename>.kde/share/apps/kabc</filename>, where your address book is
|

stored.</para>

<listitem><para>The environment variables <envar>KDEDIR</envar> and

<envar>KDEDIRS</envar> tell &kde; where its files are stored. You will
|

|
|
usually only need to set <envar>KDEDIR</envar> to the directory in which
|
||
|
|
&kde; is installed, but sometimes you might have other &kde;
|
||
|
|
programs installed elsewhere: in this case, you can use the
|
||
|
|
<envar>KDEDIRS</envar> environment variable. Set
|
||
|
|
<envar>KDEDIRS</envar> to a list of all the directories containing
|
||
|
|
&kde; programs, separated by commas. For example, if you have &kde;
|
||
|
|
programs in both <filename>/usr/local/kde</filename> and
|
||
|
|
<filename>/home/phil/kde</filename>, you can use <userinput>export
|
||
|
|
KDEDIR=/usr/local/kde,/home/phil/kde</userinput> if you use
|
||
|
|
<application>bash</application> or <userinput>setenv
|
||
|
|
KDEDIR=/usr/local/kde,/home/phil/kde</userinput> if you use sh.
