Indeed!
I'm using the new pseudo-rootless mode with kde-cygwin. However, it really
doesn't accomplish much if kdesktop is running, as this then occupies 
the entire
window so you can't 'see through' to the standard Windows windows.
So I want to run kde with kicker but not kdesktop. I tried taking +kdesktop
off the kdeinit line in startkde:
- kdeinit kcminit +kdesktop +kicker
+ kdeinit kcminit +kicker
This then prevents kdesktop from loading on startup. However when ksplash
shows "restoring session" it still loads... The output is as follows:
klauncher: KLauncher::process ---> autoStart
kdeinit: Got EXEC_NEW 'kdesktop' from launcher.
kdeinit: launch -> kdesktop
kio (KLauncher): kdesktop (pid 1264) up and running.
etc.
I can get around this by renaming kdesktop.dll and kdesktop.exe so that 
this bit fails.
The result is very nice, a nice kicker menu on top of my windows apps.
But I'd like to do it without renaming kdesktop.
Any hints? (My kde config memory is a bit rusty...)
