In this issue, we're brainstorming ways to make exozyme easier to use since new users run into a lot of obstacles while trying to effectively use exozyme.

  • Make it easier to log out
  • Pin Konsole in the Application Launcher
  • Create a guide to the KDE Plasma desktop for beginners or find an existing one.

Any other things to fix?

We can configure the Application Launcher with

kwriteconfig5 --file ~/.config/plasma-org.kde.plasma.desktop-appletsrc --group Containments --group 2 --group Applets --group 3 --group Configuration --group General --key primaryActions 1
kwriteconfig5 --file ~/.config/plasma-org.kde.plasma.desktop-appletsrc --group Containments --group 2 --group Applets --group 3 --group Configuration --group General --key systemFavorites "lock-screen\\,logout\\,save-session\\,switch-user"

/usr/share/plasma/plasmoids/org.kde.plasma.kicker/contents/config/main.xml seems to contain default settings for the Application Launcher. Or is it /usr/share/plasma/plasmoids/org.kde.plasma.kickoff/contents/config/main.xml?

Edited /usr/share/plasma/plasmoids/org.kde.plasma.kickoff/contents/config/main.xml to finally fix the first idea.

The quickstart guide has been updated to provide some more info about using KDE Plasma, so I'm closing this unless people have any other suggestions?

The current method of customizing the application launcher doesn't seem very robust, so adding files to /etc/xdg is probably a better solution.

It didn't work, so we're sticking with the method of modifying /usr/share/plasma/plasmoids/org.kde.plasma.kickoff/contents/config/main.xml.

I also commented out the other xrdp session types like VNC since this just confuses people.
