Re: [kde] Home Directory KDE config files [SOLVED]

I was able to solve that using a symlink... which works to get the actual
cache all in the same spot... but doesn't get rid of the ugly .cache
entry in $HOME. =:^(

So I guess I figure out where it's coming from (I think kdelook), and
file a request with the author... and/or patch in my own path (easy
enough on gentoo, just drop the patchfile in a particular patch-dir and
the patch should be applied to updates automatically).

If it is using KDE API, it should be using KStandardDirs to find the cache
location, e.g. KStandardDirs::saveLocation("cache")

Cheers,
