Description:

This script is fixing the desktop file for starting
the system settings application. By default Kubuntu
uses a selfmade version of KControl, the script
changes one file (actually one line in the file),
so that the real KControl gets started.

Thanks to anmaster for introducing me sed, the script
should now working on every Kubuntu version.

HOWTO USE
========
in Konsole:
su root
chmod +x fix.sh
sh fix.sh
exit
exit

DEPENDENCIES
============
* Kubuntu (at least Breezy 5.10)
* sed
* root access

Maybe something based on sed will make it portable?

Example ():
sed 's/^Exec=./Exec=kcontrol/' -i /path/to/file

Replace '.' with the original value. '.*' will match anything.

The -i option means: Do the change in place.

I'm a Bash/Sed/Awk/Grep wizard. ;-)

What am I missing? Kcontrol is still there and doesn't look any different than I remember it in other distros like SUSE or Fedora.

Why is this script necessary?

for changing the desktop-file of systemsettings, to get it execute kcontrol instead of systemsettings, which means overall usage of kcontrol ... actually the script is just something I made because I hate to re-do changes after a software upgrade

I personally like systemsettings (Kcontrol is in desperate need of overhaul anyway) so I guess I'd not want this script eh? ;-)

probably not, no :P

but well, systemsettings isn't bad but it's taking somehow the biggest advantage KDE got for "advanced" users -> the advanced configuration interfaces

to all who like to use systemsettings: DON'T USE THIS SCRIPT ... I'll not make a "revert changes" script :P
