[Clug-tech] Fwd: Auto backup file

[Shawn]

If I remember right, kwrite uses Kate to provide the typing services, but 
provides a simplified interface.  (Not that Kate is toooo tough itself).

In Kate, you go to Settings -> Configure Kate.  From there you select the 
Open/Save section and un-check the "Local Files" under "backup on save" area.  
(on KDE4, this is under the Advanced tab).  I don't know hether or not that 
change would carry over to kwrite though.

HTH.
