Actually, I have NO sound under the 2.4.18 kernel I'm running, not even in the console, but that's another issue, I've gotten used to crappy sound support for PPC/Linux under EVERY distribution I tried, so it's sorta become a moot point with me, I've got a MacOS 8.6 machine I run SoundJamMP on that works just peachy keen. BUT, to get back to your original question, I run straight windowmaker 0.80, with no sound server enabled, and no gnome panel, or KDE panel (although I do use the Konsole, which does fire up the DCOP server from KDE)
