I noticed that my .opera does not copy into /home/knoppix either, so there are several .files I need to add in to that script or else only some of the changes I made to kde's config work.

You also have to chown -R root:root all the files in /etc/skel
They will get chowned back to knoppix when the script copies them to knoppix's home.
Thanks. I know all that, and added my files to 45xsession, but it wasn't the problem. I've already discovered the real problem and I was right - it wasn't in any new files I've added. Its a race bug which exists in 45xsession and which my remastering only triggered. I'll post about it separately.
