adduser and KDE

[WillsterV]

when adding a user by typing "adduser" at a root prompt I'm able add a user normally.

My problem is when starting KDE it doesn't go through the initialization that the root account goes through when it first logs into KDE. How do I make my other users have that same initialization?

I have already tried moving the /etc/skel directory and leaving /etc/skel but deleting all the files. and it still doesn't work.

Anyway any ideas would be great.

I'm interested in adding a user as well. Also, the KNOPPIX user shows with the German language - I'd like to convert that login to English.

I always add new users manually:
In konsole:

$ su
password: rootpassword
# useradd username
# passwd username
   .......
# mkdir /home/username
# chown username:users /home/username

Doing this way the new user starts with an empty homedir.
~/.kde will be newly created (by the same procedure it is done with root)

$ su

# useradd username
# passwd username
.......
# mkdir /home/username
# chown username:users /home/username

This worked perfectly. Thank you. I even experimented by doing 'startx' and configuring KDE then quiting and deleting everything from the dir and doing 'startx' again.

Thanks
