Sometimes I like to switch from Blackbox to KDE. That's all. Not often. I 
like the light weight of bb.

Not really, though I know that is possible. This all started when I 
tried to run Quanta under Blackbox, and got a very squirrely display. 
My thought was 'maybe it'll run better under KDE - why don't I just go 
install that?'

I'll add that and see what happens.

Thanks,
