I.e. I want to be able to keep all the features of my KDE desktop(kicker and my 4 desktops) but I love the look of waimea, I'm sure its an .xinitrc edit but I'm not exactly sure which apps to start first in the script.

edit: hmm maybe I should take a look at the startkde script ehh?

I once managed to start kde using enlightenment as windowmanager and not kwin. But KDE was not very usable anymore, i.e. the systray did not work anymore and there were no more icons on the desktop.

See this thread for more info.

hmm you are right, darn looks like I'll have to do more research on getting my functionallity back while using waimea instead of kde.
