The kdebase-workspace
package on Arch Linux only preservers changes made to /usr/share/config/kdm/kdmrc
when the package is updated. I need to edit /usr/share/config/kdm/Xsetup
to get my monitors to rotate correctly, but the changes get lost every time kdebase-workspace
gets updated. The Arch Wiki recommends copying /usr/share/config/kdm/Xsession
to /usr/share/config/kdm/Xsession.custom
. I could do this with /usr/share/config/kdm/Xsetup
, but I thought files in /usr/share/
are supposed to be managed by the package manager.
It seems like this might be a bug in the package (i.e., should it be saving all the configuration files) or should I be making a change in /usr/share/config/kdm/kdmrc
to tell it to look some place else and if so where?
