My intention was not to do anything overly complex (says he). ie: Wife phones me at lunch and asks me to configure the Appearance section of Konqueror in her account so that it's identical to mine. As altering the Konqueror config files by hand, from root, is a complex business, I figure it's easier to to the config from her account. Now Wife has omitted to give me the password for her account and her boss frowns on personal phone calls. No worries I thought. As sys admin (too grand a title in my case) I can open her account from root, start up Konqueror and do the config. Great. Until I realised I didn't have a clue how to do it. It's all rather academic now as the wife did the config after work. But It seemed to me that it was a task a sys admin might be able to do. (And save the wife's deluded opinion of me as a computer expert!!)
