These are exactly the type of messages that drive me crazy on lists. 
Understand me: thank you very much for these hints, they are very usefull. 
But you are taking for granted that all the other readers know HOW to do 
this.
Most KDE users have "simply" installed their distribution, some even don't 
know there are other possibilities. So I would suggest that when posting such 
helpfull informations, you (whoever is "you") also post either a short how to 
or say in which FAQ it is to be found.

For example, on the matter of changing the window manager, you can look here: 
http://wiki.kdenews.org/tiki-pagehistory.php?page=Tips+and+Tricks&preview=57

However, a short "do this, then that" would help the reader to do so 
immediately.
