Okay, trying to install KDE 3.4.3 using Konstruct. Did what it told me so I could do a full install of kde and everything else. I configured gar.conf.mk to let it know I had QT greater than 3.3. cd'd to meta/kde, did make install (as instructed). It seems to have download the appropriate packages (I saw it) and compile them (saw that too.) I can tell kde has been installed somehow, but not sure what's next. Here's what I've observed so I can better explain:

* It does not add kde to xwmconfig. Seems to me there's a file that needs to be added along the lines of xinitrc.kde. How do I create it or do I need to if I want it as an option in there?
* Whenever I do finally get the PATH to the kde directory to stick (a topic of another thread, but not here), and run startkde from a console, it will actually start kde when I am running another desktop (in my case, WindowMaker), but, it will not if I just run startkde from the command line (outside of X). I hope that wasn't confusing.

You can see that the question is inevitably going to be: After Konstruct does it's duty, how do I get it to run on it's own without having to already be inside another window manager? Is there something else I need to do that the Konstruct README file doesn't explain or (more likely) something I don't know about window managers and X, etc.?

MUCH thanks in advance to anybody who reads this,
