The K Desktop Environment

Chapter 2. Some Fundamentals

KConfigure is very simple to use.

2.1. Command Line Options

Though KConfigure may most often be started from the KDE program menu, or a desktop icon, it can also be opened at the command line prompt of a terminal window. There are a few useful options that are available when doing this.

2.1.1. Specify a File

By specifying the path and name of a particular file the user can have KConfigure open (or create) that file immediately upon startup.This option might look something like the following:


  % kconfigure
/home/myhome/sources/configure
