Hi All,

I hope you can help with this...

I want to be able to copy one users directorys and prefs over to another
user. So, supposing, I need to add user "alice", I can useradd, and all
that and create /home/alice. Now, I want alice to have copies of bob's
files and prefs, so I cp /home/bob/* /home/alice and that all works fine.
But when alice signs in (after permissions, groups, etc. have been updated
by root), her kde desktop looks like bob's except for wall paper and the
panel configuration.

So, my question... what am I missing? How do I copy to alice, bob's prefs
for wallpaper, kde panel layout, etc.?

Thanks in advance!
