Desktop settings: set folder view, preserve window dimensions

[pwabrahams]

I'm running Kubuntu 12.04. There are a couple of desktop settings that I'm sure are there somewhere, but I can't find them, and I can't find good search terms for them either:

1. How do I set Folder View as the default for all desktops? I know how to do it for a single desktop, but not how to do it for all of them at once.

2. How do I arrange to save window sizes, so that the next time I open the same application I have the same window dimensions as the last time?

Also, how can I locate the image file for a particular desktop? (I want to reuse it on a different machine.)

2. Right-click a window's title bar, choose More Actions | Special Window Settings, click the Size & Position button. Select Size and read the pop-up help to understand what the different options do.

3. The images are in /usr/share/wallpapers.

Thanks much!! But do you have an answer for #1 (setting folder view on all desktops at once)? Or is that just not possible?

[SteveRiley]

Alas, I don't, sorry...I haven't used the multiple desktop feature much.

@pwabrams, I would think (if my logic is working today) that you could NOT set all desktops to folder view if you have "different activities" enabled. Another semi-relevant thought -- if setting up a new installation, you manually did set folder view on all desktops, and then if you saved that configuration (~.kde/share/config/plasma-desktop-appletsrc) in /etc/skel/, then for each new user account, the initial KDE configuration would have folder view on each desktop. I know that's not a direct answer, but maybe it helps you think about the question.

Folder view but different wallpapers

I'd like to standardize folder view on all my desktops but have different wallpapers. Perhaps there's something in ~.kde/share/config/plasma-desktop-appletsrc that would help.
