I'm currently running Suse 7.2 with the KDE 2.1.2.
I am planning on migrating to Red Hat 7.2 with the KDE 2.2.
Is saving my .kde directory and plopping it down in my new
installation enough to save all of my kde settings/customizations?

Or, perhaps it would be smart to Grep the whole: "~/.kde2" tree to see
if (or which of) the files contain the string: "kde2".

1. KDE 2.2 kicker defaults while migrating from 1.3d
I am staring the migration of our users from kde 1.3 to kde 2.2,
or if you prefer redhat 6.2 to redhat 7.2.
Just to get the right perspective this involves about 100 users on xterminals in
3 different cities. So I would like to keep the hand holding to a minimum ;-)
Sadly desktopconv that is called in startkde seems to be sick :(
In most tests it hangs.
Commenting out desktopconv at least leaves the Desktop intact.
The problem remains are the programs in kicker.
I want our apps instead of the default ones.
The only place I could see anything was in /usr/share/apps/kicker/default-apps
I edited this but it did not change what appeared in kicker.
For that matter ~/.kde/share/apps/kicker/default-apps
was a different from ether the original or the new version.
How does one change the defaults?
