GNOME :

in the ~/.gnome direcory makes a file for each app. E.g gnorpm

contents of the gnorpm file is this:

[rpmfind]
distribution=Manhattan 
vendor=Red Hat Software
hostname=pca25.kjemi.unit.no
rpm-dir=/home/randhol/rpms

[Placement]
Dock=Toolbar\\0,1,0,0\\Menubar\\0,0,0,0

[No-Upgrade]
0=libc
1=glibc
2=shlibs

[Flags]
NoDependencies=false
NoReorder=false
NoScripts=false
ReplacePkgs=false
ReplaceFiles=false
UpgradeToOld=false
KeepObsolete=false
NoDocumentation=false
AllFiles=false
JustDB=false
JustTest=false
NoArchCheck=false
NoOSCheck=false

[Layout]
asIcons=false

[Paths]
rpmDir=/mnt/cdrom/RedHat/RPMS

I don't have disc space for KDE (also haven't used it much) so I don't
know.
