You just need the kdelibs (and maybe kdebase?) port installed in order to use KDE apps. The DE and window manager you use is irrelevant. When you start a KDE app, it will load the libs and whatnot that it needs. Or, you could search around the ports tree for a GNOME download manager that would integrate with other GNOME apps a little better. :) -- Freddie Cash, CCNT CCLP Helpdesk / Network Support Tech.
