Thank you for your tips. It is more user-friendly, much better than
modify the *.conf file.  Sorry for this late reply. Kinda busy
recently. : (

Also, I am thinking the arch linux KDE documentation seems are more
detailed than Fedora's. Is it true? And since KDE have their own
documentation, do you suggest I should read them when problems occur
again, instead of reading Fedora's?

It is a funny metaphor : ), but I do believe that make Linux more
user-friendly can attract common users, especially those spoiled MS
Windows users. Isn't it?

Best regards,
