OK - one more question then because I can see that my desktop system
which has kiosktool installed behaves differently than the impact of my
editing a users $HOME/.kde/share/config/kdesktoprc directly (they are
running on a system that DOESN'T have kiosktool installed.

The [$i] is apparently not meaningful to a specific user's kdesktoprc
file itself but only meaningful on the the
system /usr/share/config/kdesktoprc or a system with kiosktool
installed.

Does that track with your understanding?
