00:18.31StevenRnot many ppl like it at all
00:18.59vruzperl is good for text parsing, which is suitable for irc stream mangling

02:33.05mythothiago: yes, but it comes bundled with kde.
02:33.27mythoI think it should use something like $KDEPATH/etc or something
02:35.00thiago$KDEDIRS/etc is not used. It doesn't exist.

02:37.48thiago-c, --config=FILE  read this and no other configuration file
02:38.18mythothiago: if I configure lisa from kcontrol network browsing module, it saves configuration to /etc/lisarc

04:43.03asciiwhitebecause ~/.kde/share/conf/kspash says its using default, and control pannel no longer has the theme installed but the theme is still getting loaded no matter which one i choose :)
04:44.19litagewhen making (in kde) a desktop shortcut that runs a script in a terminal, how can you get back to the prompt after the process finishes? right now, once it ends, the terminal becomes unresponsive and the titlebar says "<Finished> - Shell - appname"
