Re: [kde] Default values for ~/.kde/share/config/kdeglobals?

So things are as they should *normally* be, e. g. first search the user's

Now what I want to do is invert this, e. g. put /opt/kde/share/config ahead
of the search path, *before* ~/.kde/share/config... any idea how I could
achieve this? Because that's what my problem amounts to.

No, you definitely don't want to do that.
If you want to make local overrides ineffective, just mark the setting in
question, the group it belongs to or the file it is in as immutable bei
either adding [$i] after the key (before the = sign), after the group
brackets or at the file's first line.

However I do not understand why you want to restrict the settings from
kdeglobal.
My initial understanding was that you just want to have better defaults, so if
you have a suitable kdeglobals in the installation config directory and no
overrides in the user directories, you should have the new defaults.

Cheers,
Kevin
