[SOLVED] Transfering KDE user settings between 2 systems

[snjv]

Hello,
I have the nagging problem of gnome-terminal automatic resizing that many have faced across distributions. I was somehow able to fix that on one system but it doesn't work another. I would like to simply transfer the settings from the first to the other for the application, if not for KDE user settings itself. Can anyone tell me how this could be acheived?

TIA,
-S

Your question is confusing. gnome-terminal is part of gnome, not KDE. The KDE equivalent is konsole.

All the configuration for KDE apps is to be found in the hidden directory ~/.kde4 for konsole the config is held in ~/.kde4/share/config/konsolerc and the application data is held in ~/.kde4/share/apps/konsole/

There is nothing stopping you using gnome-terminal from within KDE, but if you are having so much difficulty configuring gnome-terminal I wonder why you do not just use konsole instead.
The config files for gnome-terminal are at ~/.gconf/apps/gnome-terminal/

You could move the files to another computer so long as you check the ownership of the files afterwards. If the two computers have different uid numbers for the same user then the ownership will be incorrect.

Thanks djennings,
I like gnome-terminal because I like to right-click and open a new terminal that opens in the same directory where I am coding. I have replaced .kde directory and it works beautifully!

Thanks again,

to open a new terminal in the same directory with konsole you need to press CTRL-SHIFT-N,
or you can open a new tab in the same terminal pressing CTRL-SHIFT-T

True, but I find using mouse better than three keys. I tried various keyboard shortcuts too. Somehow, I like gnome-terminal for coding and KDE for everything else!

FWIW, in konsole you can add a "New tab" button to the tab bar, which opens a new tab in the same directory as the displayed tab.
