Hi, How about not using kde and just using something lite like blackbox or fvwm and *then* fire up kmail there? I know kmail had/has issues with attachments etc from any other app then kde, but I'm sure these issues will be addressed sooner or later. kde here starts fairly pain free. I ki

Intergrating KDE with BlackBox Window Manager

2001-04-30 Thread Stefan Srdic
Hi, I'm running Debian Patato with kernel 2.4.3 and the blackbox window manager. I've recently installed KDE 2.1.1 and would like to know how I can manipulate startkde so that it chooses blackbox as the default window manager? I have found an outdated HOW-TO over at: http://www.draknor.net/kbb

I've been dealing with this problem for about a month (maybe shorter/longer... I've a bad memory for dates). It has gotten to the point that my NFS-mounted home directories cannot be used with KDE, because Konqueror locks up other critical kde apps, like kmail. Is there any way to configure k

I've been using Gnome with varying degrees of frustration since RedHat 5.2, and decided, especially after hearing Kurt Granroth's spiel at CLUE, to try KDE. I'm running Debian, and am loath to use "unstable" packages, but I went to the site http://kde.debian.net/ and read what I could. - Insert l
