Quirks With New Trinity Profiles

From: Darrell Anderson <humanreadable@...>

Testing a new Trinity profile. I tested these quirks three ways: skipping kpersonalizer, configuring kpersonalizer for minimum effects, and accepting all defaults in kpersonalizer.

============================================
The panel height is preconfigured to Small. When the new Trinity profile opens, the height is indeed Small.

Yet when I open the panel configuration box the size says Normal.

============================================
In /usr/share/config.kcfg/kickerSettings.kcfg I have panel set to 1) no mouseover effects, 2) no icon activation effects, and 3) no tooltips. I create those settings when I build the package and the kickerSettings.kcfg gets installed with my preferred settings.

When I open the configuration box the first time all three settings are enabled, which I can confirm with straightforward usability tests of the desktop.

============================================
In /usr/share/config.kcfg/kdesktop.kcfg I have shadow text off and white text on. With a new profile the text is black with shadows.

If I accept the defaults from kpersonalizer, then the text is white but shadows remain on.

============================================
Default icon theme is now Crystal SVG. Crystal SVG is the icon theme when I skip kpersonalizer or accept the defaults. When I select minimum desktop effects in kpersonalizer, the icon theme is KDE Classic.

============================================
With minimum desktop effects or defaults in kpersonalizer, the bouncing mouse cursor reappears, despite the default being non-busy. Seems the only way to get the default non-busy cursor is to skip kpersonalizer.
