kdmrc, GUI front end, and comments

[Joel Hammer]

I got some help from folks a while back about configuring kdmrc. I
complained that it would have been nice to make kdmrc self explanatory,
since there is no man page for this configuration file.

Here is all I saw when I tried to configure kdmrc:

[Desktop0]
BackgroundMode=VerticalGradient
BlendBalance=100
BlendMode=NoBlending
ChangeInterval=60            
etc....


But, in my new install of lindows, here is what I have:
 
# KDM configuration example.
# Note, that all comments will be lost if you change this file with
# the kcontrol frontend.                                                          
etc......

So, I guess I must have fooled around with the kcontrol configuration
tool with this file before I tried to configure it by hand. So, one more
reason to HATE GUI's. This sounds a lot like SWAT. I wonder if there
are other configuration files which lose all their comments if you use
a GUI front end to edit them.
