Who creates/writes ~/.gtkrc-2.0 file?

I see this file in my home.
I am on Plasma/KDE.
My main concern is that it is being re-created or updated without considering my umask settings.
I would like to file a bug, but have no idea which component it is. Likely it is "kde-gtk-config". Any hint?

Re: Who creates/writes ~/.gtkrc-2.0 file?

You can https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Audit_ … stallation the settings.
Disowning the file (to root) or setting it immutable (requires root permissions but the file remains yours) w/ "chattr +i"  will prevent it from being written.

Also typically the tools that autogenerate those files will warn you to stay away from it and add some include for local adjustments.

That's exactly the component. In the future, if you don't know what component a bug belongs to, you can always file it at https://bugs.kde.org/enter_bug.cgi?clas … 27t%20know.
