 To create such window-specific setting automatically without a need of doing
-it manually for every user (for example when doing a large deployment), follow
-these steps:
-
-- Back up your $KDEHOME/share/config/kwinrulesrc ($KDEHOME usually being $HOME/.kde)
- and remove it
-- Run 'dcop kwin default reconfigure'
-- Create manually all window-specific settings that should be included (see above)
-- When done, check in Window-specific settings configuration module
- (Alt+F3/Configure window behavior/Window-specific settings) that all rules are
- included
-- Create a copy of $KDEHOME/share/config/kwinrulesrc and restore the original one
-- Rename the copy (i.e. the newly created kwinrulesrc) to have its unique name
- (e.g. foobar_fix_maxsize in this example case)
-- Be careful with manual modifications of the file, especially make sure the count=
- field in the [General] group is updated if needed
-- Create a file for kconfig_update like this (named kwin_foobar_fix_maxsize.upd
- in this example):
-
-# kwin_foobar_fix_maxsize.upd start # 
-Id=foobar_fix_maxsize
-File=kwinrules_update
-Group=Dummy
-Options=overwrite
-ScriptArguments=foobar_fix_maxsize
-Script=kwin_update_default_rules
-
-# kwin_foobar_fix_maxsize.upd end # 
-
-- The kconfig_file (kwin_foobar_fix_maxsize.upd) is to be placed
- in $KDEDIR/share/apps/kconf_update/
-- The file with the window-specific settings (foobar_fix_maxsize) is to be placed
- in $KDEDIR/share/apps/kwin/default_rules/
-
+it manually for every user create file with the window-specific settings in
+$KDEDIR/share/apps/kwin/default_rules/
 
 All KDE user accounts should have these new window-specific settings added
 automatically during next KDE startup (or within few seconds if they are active).
