While on the topic of KDE.....
This article on the now defunct Qt wars

Contains the following extract

                     "Dalheimer also laments the geographic
                   chauvinism that quietly emerged during the
                   rift. The bulk of KDE's core development
                   team lives in Europe, where independence
                   from American software companies
                   invokes issues of national security, not just
                   personal choice. Dalheimer says European
                   Linux developers have followed a policy of
                   beating Windows first and worrying about
                   ideological issues later.

                   "We want KDE to be used because it's
                   better, not because of the license,"
                   Dalheimer says."

I think the guy has a point...

Mark.

        Has anyone managed to nicely replace kwm with Window Maker? I have
WM
        compiled with KDE and Gnome support (just to try both;) and yet none
of
        my efforts have been successful to neatly run kpanel and assorted
apps
        when WM loads.
        I'll try put the commands in "autostart" but that's not what I'm
looking
        for.. :(

        Donncha.
