Description dcarrera 2003-08-16 01:48:17 UTC 
RC3 creates a ~/.kde directory on my Solaris box during installation.

Solaris doesn't use KDE at all.  There is absolutely no reason why OOo should
create a ~/.kde directory and populate it with 97 files that are never going to
get used.

Hi, 
 
Actually not true.  You can compile KDE for your Solaris machgine and up until last 
week when I got rid of my last Solaris box, I did have KDE running on it. 
 
That is why I enabled KDE under all UNIX.  Just because you don't use it doesn't 
mean others don't (I did!)  ;-) 
 
I do think KDE can be disabled under an OOo custom install for Solaris.  If not, I think 
we can add that feature for 1.1.1.

Any idea why this should be a P1 issue?
Comment 3 pavel 2003-08-17 13:00:15 UTC 
The same here, so confirmed.
Comment 4 khendricks 2003-08-18 01:56:31 UTC 
Hi, 
 
I checked it a Custom Install does allow you to disable KDE. 
 
So I can't see the bug here.  In my opinion this should be changed to INVALID. 
 
You **can** run KDE on Solaris and some people do  (I did) so installing it is good if 
you use KDE.  If you don't use KDE under Solaris, simply disable it during custom 
install. 
 
Where is the bug?

Comment 5 dcarrera 2003-08-18 02:09:04 UTC 
I stand corrected.  I did not know that KDE ran on Solaris.
Comment 6 Olaf Felka 2003-08-18 11:07:15 UTC 
I agree to Kevin.
