Thanks for the post with suggestions.
I have jsut rechecked all of those, and noticed an entry to the effect of
"align to grid= true" in one of the files in ~/.kde , but nothing about grid size.
Any ideas why this grid spacing value isnt being read from a file anyone? Is there a good
reason, or is it just that noone thought it would be neccesary / wanted?
Any further suggestions / a hack (short of modding the kde code and rebuilding it) would be appreciated, though come to think of it, if anyone knows which file needs to be modified, i could
be tempted to rebuild kde. This is starting to bug me now...
