Thanks for all quick replies!

I'd rather not mess around with files in users home directories, I prefer
global settings which go to places like /etc or /usr... Lew gave me two
really good links which seems to boil down to the following to disable
nepomuk:

-8<---------------------------
cd /usr/share/autostart
# Make nepomukserver not run in autostart
sudo mv nepomukserver.desktop nepomukserver.desktop.goaway
-8<---------------------------

I can easily create and distribute a custom Slackware package which
removes /usr/share/autostart/nepomukserver.desktop

It seems harder to get rid of akonadi, but at least it can be setup to use
less space, it seems that I will need to distribute a modified
/usr/share/config/akonadi/mysql-global.conf to lower the value of
innodb_log_file_size

I have not yet tried any of the solutions above. I hope to be able to try
it on a fresh Slackware 13.1 on my new home system in a few days. After my
vacation I will try it live at work with more users.

regards Henrik

If you'll be recreating all the user accounts, Henrik, you could put
these directories and this file in /etc/skel beforehand so that all
new accounts "inherit" it.

Thanks for the advices, but unfortunately it doesn't apply very well on my
situation. The users are existing users with home directories on NFS
servers. I have also modified the Slackware 13.1 installation so that the
directory ~/.kde_slack13 is used instead of ~/.kde. A few years ago I
found out the hard way that different versions of kde didn't play to well
together in the same configuration directory.

As an administrator I'd rather not mess around in users home directories.

What, users do enough damage in there without you adding to it :)

Fair enough. I haven't really tested this, but as far as I can see you can
create/modify the file /usr/share/config/kres-migratorrc for system-wide
effect instead...
