Operating Systems Linux Red Hat User (Profile) Specific Start Menu for RHEL 6.1 using KDE 4.3.4 Post 302757051 by Gromit on Thursday 17th of January 2013 04:01:47 AM

User (Profile) Specific Start Menu for RHEL 6.1 using KDE 4.3.4

I installed RHEL 6.1 with KDE 4.3.4 using LDAP on a PC and have now the problem to specifiy a user/Profile specific start menu.

I have used already the kmenuedit tool and tailored for one user a specific menu, successfully.
I changed as an example the konsole submenu.
The kmenuedit was generating a user specific file kde-konsole.setup of the edited menu file an stores it in the directory .local/share/applications/. This file was generated from the global menu file kde4-konsole.desktop stored in the directory /usr/share/applications/kde4/.
My question is, where can I store this generated user/profile that it is used when a new generated user is logging in the first time.
Before RHEL 6.x/ KDE 4.x always a mechanism with the /etc/skel directories was used, which seems to be not longer used.

Addtionally I had a look on the kiostool, but that does not longer work correctly for RHEL 6.x/KDE 4.x.

Does anyone have suggestions to solve this problem?

KBOOKMARKMERGER 
KDE User's Manual KBOOKMARKMERGER NAME
kbookmarkmerger - A program for merging a given set of bookmarks into the user's list of bookmarks. SYNOPSIS
kbookmarkmerger [Qt Options...] [KDE Options...] {directory} DESCRIPTION
kbookmarkmerger is a program for merging a given set of bookmarks into the user's set of bookmarks; if the user doesn't have any bookmarks created yet, a new bookmark list is created and the given bookmarks are inserted into it. While doing this, kbookmarkmerger keeps track of which files were merged in a previous run already, so no bookmark will get installed to the user's bookmarks more than once. In case KDE is running while kbookmarkmerger is executed, the KDE bookmark subsystem will be informed of any changes to the user's bookmarks, so that all applications accessing that information (i.e.Konqueror) will pick the changes up instantly. The traditionally used approach to achieve something like this was to use carefully crafted skeleton home directories when creating a new user account, to provide the user with a standard set of bookmarks. The problem with this approach is that after the user account has been created, no new bookmarks can be propagated. This mechanism is useful for system administrators who want to propagate a bookmark pointing to a certain document (for instance, important notes about the system) to all users. Distributors might find it useful as well, for instance by augmenting the software packages they supply with bookmark files which kbookmarkmerger merges into the user's bookmark list when the package is installed. That way, documentation shipped with a software package is easily and visibly accessible right after the package has been installed. The only parameter required by kbookmarkmerger is the name of a directory which shall be scanned for bookmark files. All files in the given directory will be considered for being merged into the user's setup. The files in the given directory should be valid XBEL files. SEE ALSO
Konqueror manual[1] EXAMPLES
joe@hal9000:~> kbookmarkmerger /usr/local/extra-bookmarks Merges all bookmark files stored in /usr/local/extra-bookmarks into joe's list of bookmarks. STANDARDS
XBEL specification[2] RESTRICTIONS
When determining whether a given bookmark file has been merged into the user's bookmarks already or not, kbookmarkmerger merely looks at the filename of the bookmark file - the contents are not checked at all. This means that changing a bookmark file which was already merged into a user's bookmarks will not trigger merging it once again. Also note that in case a user modifies a bookmark which was merged into his setup, the original bookmark file will be left unmodified. AUTHOR
