11.2.1 File System Hierarchy
KDE reads and stores files used by the KDE environment itself as well as by the KDE
applications in fixed directory trees, also referred to as "profiles" in this context. By
default, there are two such directories: /opt/kde3 and ~/.kde. The ~/.kde direc-
tory contains the user-specific settings. The /opt/kde3 directory contains data and
configuration files that came with the packages. It is not recommended to make any
changes there, because they get overwritten with the next update. Therefore, as a system
administrator you can create additional trees that are used by the KIOSK framework.
The default location for an additional fixed directory tree is /var/lib/
kde-profiles. You can add custom locations in /etc/kde3rc. Refer to the
KIOSK documentation for details.
A fixed directory tree consists of the following directories (although not all directories
need to be present):
bin
Executables
cgi-bin
Help center scripts
lib
Libraries
socket-<HOSTNAME>
Communication sockets
tmp-<HOSTNAME>
Temporary files
cache-<HOSTNAME>
Cached data
share
Application and configuration data
Among others, the share directory contains the following subdirectories:
