Try this:
#aptitude install fluxbox gnome-control-center kcontrol
#update-alternatives --remove x-session-manager `which gnome-session`
In your ~/.xsession, use:
gnome-settings-daemon &
GSDPID=$!
while lsof -u$USER | awk 'BEGIN { found = 0; }
($2 == "'$GSDPID'") && ($8 ~ /orbit-'$USER'/) { found = 1; next
}
END { exit found }'
do
sleep 1
done
sleep 1
xscreensaver -nosplash &
kdeinit &
exec fluxbox
You'll get the very speedy and useful Fluxbox, and all the Gnome/KDE
eyecandy your heart desires. Best of three worlds.
