Works great with WindowMaker, too

[Otter]

If you want to use the KDE applications, without the overhead and screen usage of the desktop, the KDE2 snapshots have been working great in WindowMaker.

Follow the directions for using KDE 1 and 2 together. Add the line:
source /opt/kde2/bin/kde2
to your Xsession or xinitrc or whatever before the line that starts WindowMaker.Add the line:
kdeinit +kded
to your autostart file, or:
kdeinit +kded +kdesktop
if you want desktop icons. This works with icewm, also, and probably with anything else.

My one gripe is that kdesktop covers the real root window, which negates the greatest strength of WindowMaker -- 4,752 different Laetitia Casta themes.
