Hrmm, i get:
Error: TypeError: Result of expression 'clock.writeEntry' [undefined] is not
a function
That's for KDE 4.8.4 (Debian Wheezy)
applicationVersion=0.4
platformVersion=4.8.4(4.8.4)

i've added this to the plasma desktop scripting for 4.11. enjoy
Zow! that was fast! Unfortunately (for me), we deploy Debian,
so i'll see that in 2 years ;} It's still something that is
a powerful/helpful addition, so thanks for adding it.
In general, i guess i still have to figure out the best place
to wedge in auxiliary configuration bits that aren't handled
in the plasmascript arena to create the default-site/custom
activity+panel layouts (and other configuration file bits).
'startkde' refers to what appears to be a totally undocumented
(# see kstartupconfig source for usage (sigh) )
command 'kstartupconfig4' which appears to be a failsafe
baseline/startup setup (as the conf files seem to be hardcode
force-generated every time in 'startkde')
So, that seems to be less designed for site-customization and
more for "stability" assurance?
libpath=`kde4-config --path lib | tr : '\n'`
for prefix in `echo "$libpath" | sed -n -e 's,/lib[^/]*/,/env/,p'`; do
for file in "$prefix"*.sh; do
test -r "$file" && . "$file"
done
done
That looks like i could put stuff in /usr/env/foo.sh to check for FirstRun
and configure, but that seems pretty ugly.
I'm also reluctant to modify 'startkde'
Perhaps a .desktop file in /etc/xdg/autostart with an Exec= to run a script?
(that's still pretty ugly)
