I think you have a point, and I may still do that. I thought I would
try on this list first because on the KDE list people will probably be
(and this is just a guess) more familiar with running KDE with the KDE
window manager. I want to see if it is possible to have KDE apps
co-exist peacefully with Gnome, XFCE and LXDE apps in Openbox, which
is sometimes tricky using the default window managers for Gnome and
KDE.
