KDE and awesome

From awesome

KDE has the KDEWM environment variable that allows you to specify an alternativ window manager to use.

The following is unverified:

just create a new script called something like:

~/.kde/env/set_window_manager.sh

containing

export KDEWM=awesome 

and make it executable chmod +x ~/.kde/env/set_window_manager.sh

I made a script in /etc/X11/Xsession.d/98mine containing just:

export KDEWM=awesome

But this is not recommended since it sets this variable for all users of the system (which is only me on my laptop).

I made some screenshots.
