MX-19.2 KDE RC 1 a few things left from XFCE in .config and in /etc/skel/, a good job was done
I saw that but I didn't respond because it was not the first time and I'd seen it, or a question like it that has a response along the lines of, one of our desktop-defaults metapackages, possible the common one puts them in there.Jerry3904 wrote: Wed Aug 12, 2020 5:23 amMX-19.2 KDE RC 1 a few things left from XFCE in .config and in /etc/skel/, a good job was done

I have hated this thing sooooooo much since the day I first encountered it. Yes, it is "hard coded" in a simple text file that can be edited with root privileges.
/usr/share/plasma/look-and-feel/org.kde.breeze.desktop/contents/logout/Logout.qml
It's a regular text file. On line 57, change to a sane timeout, 30 seconds is for turtles. Use F11 to see line numbers. This is what you'll see
property real timeout: 30
I vote we divide and conquer this filthy beast and split it 6 ways to give us 5 seconds. Personally though, I'd prefer 2-3 seconds max.
+1: why have so many distros if they don't even dare to change a simple setting?JayM wrote: Wed Aug 12, 2020 6:38 am Every other KDE distro I've used has the default and annoying 30-second pause. Let's be different.
+1 I agree I set mine for 5 sec. which is plenty of time for me. thanks again. RC1 is looking very good. Thanks to all the Devs for their work.JayM wrote: Wed Aug 12, 2020 6:38 am 30 seconds isn't only long enough for you to change your mind and click cancel, it's practically long enough to go pour yourself a cup of coffee or tea while you're still deciding.

Probably because they don't have an m_pav on their development team to find where that setting gets hidden.
Can't you try to put these files by default in /home/user/.local/share ? I'll test this and see if it works when I create a new user.JayM wrote: Wed Aug 12, 2020 6:51 am(Thinking about it further, as it's a setting that's presumably in each individual look and feel's config file I don't think it can be made a change item in MX Tweak after all, but it can be make a wiki entry telling people how to change it for their particular look and feel.)
