tools/wineshelllink Full KDE3 Support-patch tomorrow

[Dustin Navea]

Hey, received a note from Riszanyi Zsolt asking to
implement use of $KDEHOME in wineshelllink.  Well, I
took a look at it, and started to do that, but then I
realized that if we do that and they have 2 versions
of KDE installed (i.e. Mandrake 8.2's way, KDE2 in
/usr and KDE3 in /opt), the icons will only be in 1 of
the 2 directories.  So, instead I finished off my KDE3
support, and it will be submitted tomorrow, I have 1
minor change to make to it.

Are you sure that $KDEHOME is the right var?

In my system at least (Conectiva Linux 8.0), the var is
$KDEDIR and it point to /usr/lib/kde3 .

$KDEHOME should point to your .kde home directory where your _user_ 
configuration is stored. Eg. it is /home/zsolt/.kde3 at me. If it is not set 
then ~/.kde is assumed.

I dont know how we came to /usr and /opt. The wineshelllink script currently 
only copies to the user folder (to ~/.kde and ~/.kde2 in the case of kde).

I'm proposing to use $KDEHOME instead of ~/.kde if it is set. That would solve 
cases.
Of course if the user has two or more kde user folders, then it would not copy 
to all of them, but that should happen only in the case of a kde developer, 
and then he do something about it (editing wineshelllink if he must).

Guess is depends on the distro...  Redhat and Mandrake
use $KDEHOME to point to KDE's directory in your home
directory (~/.kde3 for kde3 and ~/.kde2 for kde2... 
But like i said above, I'm not putting $KDEHOME into
wineshelllink, and what you just said is another
argument in favor of not using $KDEHOME, so it is
settled, no $KDEHOME in wineshelllink, too many
headaches... ;)

I think that $KDEDIR means different than $KDEHOME on all distros (even on 
Conectiva :).
Just $KDEHOME is seldomly used, so it is not known.

But I agree, that it is better to copy to all existing ~/.kde* directories, 
than only to $KDEHOME. Only that if you use $KDEHOME, then it is more 
generic, 'cause then $KDEHOME can point eg. to ~/.kdetest or something like 
that.
Of course the distros wont use that, and probably few people will, so we can 
stay at your solution...
