KCM useraccount is a merge of the former kdebase/kcontrol/email
|
||
|
|
and kdeutils/kdepasswd/userinfo/. They existed in KDE 3.1, at least.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
As a bonus, on top of saving the stuff with KEMailSettings it tries
|
||
|
|
also to save the realname to /etc/passwd. This is done via chfn, wrapped
|
||
|
|
in ChfnProcess, chfnprocess.h - which is the place to ifdef/modify so
|
||
|
|
other systems/ychfn/whatever works.
|
||
|
|
/etc/passwd is not the primary goal, the focus is on KDE's settings. The KCM
|
||
|
|
tries to hide the implementation differences and play nice with the
|
||
|
|
user - keep that in mind.
|
||
|
|
|

The "face" term is rather scary.. For example I don't think the user immediately
|
||
|
|
associate to the login image when a phrase such as this is thrown in the face:
|
||
|
|
"Your administrator has disallowed changing your face". Keep it in mind..
|
||
|

|
Some information which was available in userinfo is left out - the home
|
||
|
|
folder and shell info. A typical user is not interested in the info nor
|
||
|
|
knows what it means. And the advanced users already knows it.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If further information is added, think twice if it should not be
|
||
|
|
added in a "Details..." dialog - is it useful for the majority or not?
|
||
|
|
The SMTP setting as well as UID should be moved to that dialog too, IMO.
