I hope this isn't too dim a response, but KDE *is* a desktop environment, so "adding it" to another windomanager's menu doesn't really make sense (to me). You can run KDE apps (like Konqueror, Koffice, Korganizer, etc) under other windowmanagers. Is that closer to what you're trying to do? If so, then you just run each app individually...but you still have to have kdebase and kdelibs installed, at a minimum. Hope that helps. And if you're interested in running KDE as your desktop, then just put `startkde` to your .xinitrc file before starting X. --Tim --- burningclown@westhost43.westhost.net wrote: > > Hi, > > Hope this isn't too dim a question.
