I also run WindowMaker.

I did find one annoying little event with a recent installation of KDE
that I was playing with.

Under WindowMaker, if I click on a link in Thunderbird, nothing happens. 
I have to copy the link and past it into FireFox.  I don't mind this too
much and some day will look into setting up a connection between
Thunderbird and Firefox in regards to this and mailto: links.

However, after installing KDE, clicking on the link will launch Konqueror.
 Even though I'm currently running Firefox and am not logged in or running
anything based on KDE.

I find that most annoying.

So, I guess the time to figure out that relationship between Thunderbird
and Firefox has arrived....
