Re: [expert] Program Compatibility
I have a friend who uses kmail under Gnome/Enlightenment. The apps might have do all of their nify integrated tricks, but they won't just out-and-out refuse to come up.

KDE apps run fine under WindowMaker. Richard On Sun, 12 Mar 2000, you wrote: > Are KDE programs compatible with IceWM or WindowMaker?

Are KDE programs compatible with IceWM or WindowMaker? I'm not all that impressed with KDE or GNOME, and thought I'd give one of the smaller and tighter GUI environments a try, but if apps won't run under them, then there's no sense in switching... thanx
