Summary

0005882: systemsettings (window behavior) settings does not match actual kwinrc values

Description

If /usr/share/kde-settings/kde-profile/default/share/config/kwinrc is modified to change a setting for all users, systemsettings does not read this in but assumes default values for kwinrc.

This causes a situation where the settings show do not match the actual running settings.

Steps To Reproduce

1) Modify /usr/share/kde-settings/kde-profile/default/share/config/kwinrc:
from
FocusPolicy=ClickToFocus
to
FocusPolicy=FocusUnderMouse
2) With your test user, remove any existing KDE config:
"cd /home/testuser; mv .kde .kde.old"
3) Login as the test user using KDE
4) Open up two konsoles and move between them, showing that it is now using Focus Under Mouse.
5) Launch /usr/bin/systemsettings
6) Look & Feel -> Window Behavior
7) Under the Focus tab, the Policy is incorrectly showing "Click to Focus".

Additional Information

An strace shows that systemsettings only reads in ~/.kde/share/config/kwinrc and not /usr/share/kde-settings/kde-profile/default/share/config/kwinrc.

For some other settings both the global and user settings are read in. For example, for the screensaver settings it reads in both
/usr/share/kde-settings/kde-profile/default/share/config/kscreensaverrc
and
~/.kde/share/config/kscreensaverrc
