3 1.) How can I start KDE ?
4
5 a.) - the easy way -
6
7 vi ~/.xinitrc
8 ---------snip---------
9 exec startkde
10 ---------snap---------
11
12 b.) - the best way KDM -
13
14 vi /etc/X11/xdm/Xsession
15 ---------snip---------
16 ...
17 case $# in
18 1)
19 case $1 in
20 failsafe)
21 exec xterm -geometry 80x24-0-0
22 ;;
23 kde)
24 exec /usr/bin/startkde
25 ;;
26 esac
27 ....
28 ---------snap---------
29 ^ add the Xsession "kde"
30
31 root@host:# /etc/rc.d/kdm start
32
33 2.) Other XServers can't connect to my xdm/kdm, help !
34
35 You must enable xdmcp !
36
37 vi /etc/X11/xdm/xdm-config
38 --> look for:
39 DisplayManager.requestPort: 0
40 --> replace with:
41 DisplayManager.requestPort: 177
42
43 - or - simply comment it out ;-)
44
45 If you don't like kdm choose xdm.
46 For xdm, you should add your authorized hosts in /etc/X11/xdm/Xaccess.
47 Test with 'X :1 -query localhost' or 'Xnest :1 -query localhost'
48
49 3.) Why are there so many libraries ??
50
51 You don't need to install/compile all of them.. but some nice functions
52 won't run without.
53
54 4.) My audio skips!
55
56 To enable real-time audio, you can use artswrapper
57 as root, "chmod u+s /usr/bin/artswrapper"
58
59 5.) Konqueror doesn't resume a partially-transfered file when using
60 sftp://hostname.
61
62 Periodically, updating either openssl and openssh breaks the sftp://
63 KIO-Slave. The fix is to recompile and update openssh, and then do the
64 same for kdelibs.
65
66 6.) Can I easily omit particular applications during the install ?
67
68 Yes you can, I got a mail from Patrick Yavitz which explains the needed
69 steps:

80 Here is an example, of how I removed unwanted applications from the
81 kdenetwork package.
82
83 build () {
84 cd $name-$version
85 DO_NOT_COMPILE="kit knewsticker kppp ksirc ktalkd wifi" \
86 ./configure --prefix=/usr \
87 --with-xinerama \
88 --disable-debug \
89 --disable-dependency-tracking \
90 --enable-final
91 make
92 make DESTDIR=$PKG install
93 rm -rf $PKG/usr/share/doc
94 }
95
96 [..]
97
98 Unfortunately there is a draw back to this, some applications depend on
99 others, so removing one and not the other can cause errors during
100 compile time. For example when I included librss for removal the install
101 hit an error...
102

109 7.) Why should I use KDE ? KDE isn't lightweight !
110
111 Hey ! It's your turn. In my opinion KDE is a nice desktop/wm.
