Once KDE is running, each user can customize their own KDE settings using the KDE control center: click on the icon for this on the panel, or click on "K --> KDE Control Center". You can also access individual settings by clicking on "K --> Settings".
Also, each user should click on "K --> System --> Appfinder", which will
run a program to search their path for various common non-KDE applications
that may be on the system, and put entries for them
(.kdelnk
files) in the user's
"K --> applnk --> Non KDE Apps" menu.
If your non-KDE application is not one which the "Appfinder" has been
configured to seach for, you can still create your own KDE configuration
file (.kdelnk
file) to integrate it with your KDE desktop.
This can be done using the KDE file manager kfm
.
See the section on the File Manager in the the KDE Help system
("K --> KDE Help") for instructions.
Read "K --> KDE Help --> A Quick Start Guide to the Desktop" for more
information on using and configuring KDE.
(The default KDE configuration installed by "usekde
" will
have the KDE Help System opened on the initial desktop seen by
a new user.)
More detailed information is available in the sections "Getting the most out of KDE"
The default Desktop directory supplied by the kdebase
RPM package, for usekde
to install in the user's home directory,
includes desktop icons for mounting/unmounting a floppy drive and a cdrom
drive, and a printer icon (drag a document's icon from a kfm
(K file
manager) window to the printer icon to print it. It is quite
likely that the system manager will have to carry out some customizations
to make these work (the drives must be configured so the user has
permission to mount them, for example).
See the section on the File Manager in the the KDE Help system ("K --> KDE Help") for further information.
