By default, Bugzilla does not search the list of RESOLVED bugs.
You can force it to do so by putting the upper-case word ALL in front of your search query, e.g.: ALL tdelibs
We recommend searching for bugs this way, as you may discover that your bug has already been resolved and fixed in a later release.

Description Darrell 2013-06-15 12:01:57 CDT

The root directory /kicc is created when accessing KControl -> System Administration -> Monitor & Display. Additionally, the directories $PREFIX/share/config/kicc and $PREFIX/share/config/tdedisplay (refer to bug reports 644 and 912), as well as $PREFIX/share/config/displayconfig.

Seems to me the three new directories $PREFIX/share/config/kicc, $PREFIX/share/config/tdedisplay, and $PREFIX/share/config/displayconfig should be created in $SYSCONFDIR rather than $PREFIX/share/config, typically /etc/trinity for most systems. Typically files and directories in /etc are not affected by system or package updates whereas the same is not always the case for $PREFIX/share. $PREFIX/share/config might be a sane place for default config files but /etc/trinity seems more ideal for global system changes.

Minimally, no files or directories should ever be created at the top level of the file system.
