Hi

I have attached my startkde-nokwin script which is a modification of 
some other startkde
script I had. On my system this starts kde perfectly but doesn't use 
kwin, so the multiwindow
manager will be used. This should go into the kde bin directory.
Let me know if it works

Cheers
David

#  DEFAULT KDE STARTUP SCRIPT ( KDE-2.2 )
#
# Boot sequence:
#
# kdeinit is used to fork off processes which improves memory usage
# and startup time.
#
# * kdeinit starts the dcopserver and klauncher first.
# * Then kded is started. kded is responsible for keeping the sycoca
#   database up to date. When an up to date database is present it goes
#   into the background and the startup continues.
# * Then kdeinit starts kcminit. kcminit performs initialisation of
#   certain devices according to the user's settings

# Set a left cursor instead of the standard X11 "X" cursor, since I've heard
# from some users that they're confused and don't know what to do. This is
# especially necessary on slow machines, where starting KDE takes one or two
# minutes until anything appears on the screen.
#
# Set the background to plain grey.
# The standard X background is nasty, causing moire effects and exploding
# people's heads. We use colours from the standard KDE palette for those with
# palettised displays.

# i.e. if you have a font in your 'override' directory, it will be used in
# preference to any other.
#
# The preference order looks like this:
# user override, system override, X, user, system
