The KDE developers see no reason why everyone doesnt run kwin, and so
I don't think they will add this. In KDE 3.1 tho, youll be able to set
the KDEWM environment variable and kde will use that if it is set
instead of kwin.

personally, ive found the best is to put this in my .xinitrc

LD_BIND_NOW=true kdeinit +kcminit +knotify
kicker & korgac & klipper &
epist & exec openbox
