Questions[kde4](ubuntu)

I am using a Wacom Bamboo tablet CTL-470 with a kubuntu 18.04 and I want to rotate it 180° so that the USB input is on the right side, not on the left as it is now.

I installed the newest packages ( https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wacom/LatestDriver), but neither with them or the original ubuntu ones do I have a GUI in the settings to change the orientation of the tablet.

How can I achieve a changed orientations so I can use the tablet more comfortably? It has not to happen via the Gui, config settings are welcome as well.

This may be a silly question for this community (and if this question does not belong here, please let know, and I'll either delete it or move to another suggested forum.)

I run Kubuntu, and I just upgraded from 11.10 to 12.04 (precise). I am not sure which version of KDE I was running in 11.10, but I didn't really do anything except install recommended upgrades on my machine since I installed 11.10.

My question is about the Alt-Tab behavior in the (new?) version of KDE that came with 12.04. Previously when I pressed Alt-Tab, a grid of small icons corresponding to the windows I had open on the desktop I was currently on was displayed, with the window in focus highlighted. Now I get just one row of large icons on a fat "tape" with about 5 and a half of them fitting on the screen at a time (and I've got a 1920x1080 pixel screen!), the rest being invisible off the screen. I usually have more than 5 windows open, and I would like to be able to see the icons for the whole set of them. However, I have not been able to do this.

I've been to System Settings->Window Behavior->Task Switcher->Main tab and played around with that to no avail. Is there another place I can look? Thank you for any help!

When I restart KDE, it launches all the applications I opened after restart. How to disable this feature?

I'm a sys admin on Kubuntu 11.10 machine. Where do I configure the basic config for a new user (say belonging to group "users")?

Edit 1:

I want to configure langauages - currently my new users get English and Bulgarian Languages. I want them to get English and Russian - and also to set Alt-CapsLock - to be the input-language-switching-combination.

Edit 2:

How do I configure things in

/usr/share/kde4

When I do

kdesudo systemsettings

and save configurations - only root settings got changed - not the /usr/share/kde4 ones.

Edit 3:

New user gets the /etc/skel files controlling bash behaviour-appearence. What about the KDE new user's default files - where are they stored?

Edit 4:

Oh, I found some hints:

kde4-config --path config

gives a list of folders (separated by the colon) where KDE looks for configs. My machine responded with:

/home/boris/.kde/share/config/
/etc/kde4/
/usr/share/kubuntu-default-settings/kde4-profile/default/share/config/
/usr/share/kde4/config/
/usr/share/desktop-base/profiles/kde-profile/share/config/

It looks like third line is where KDE takes the default options. So I found these zilions of settings - but no GUI way to configure it ((.

Edit 5:

Finally, I've created a dummy user, configured it, and wrote a script which gives it's settings to a given user(s). The trick - is to chown after one transfered the dot files from one user to another. I've tested it - it works fine.

I mainly use windows and use Linux/Kubuntu occasionally, and would love it if the same Windows shortcuts can be applied in KDE 4.

Shortcuts that I would love to have.

1. Winkey - Launches the start menu.
2. Ctrl+Shift+Esc - Brings up taskmanager
3. Winkey+d - Issues the minimize all comand
4. Winkey+e - Open up Naultius

Can anyone suggest and method to bind the keys into doing the correct stuff?

Edit #1:

5.Also Winkey+L - To lock the computer
