Hi Pierre, I submitted the bug because handling some users with kuser did interfere in with the regular tools on my system.
I figured it is because kmail does not use the mechanisms provided in debian to alter conf files. Fine if kuser will now delete private groups of users when they have one, simulating the provided tools (adduser/useradd), that did mess up my setup once. Even though it's probabably only emulating some things. There is more to it though, and a kuser option to use the standard tools instead of writing to the files directly (locking etc.) would never risk to interfere. The points where only examples.

Sorry, this was a typo. It was of course *kuser* that created ~/.kde directories. Regards, Christian -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
