Hmm... It kinda works. The main problem is that doing it that way is
that kdesktop just shows up in a blackbox window.
I've explored the alternative of just starting kdesktop by itself with
fluxbox, using the --x-root flag, but that presents some problems too:
1) kdesktop intercepts the middle- and right-clicks that are intended
for the fluxbox desktop for its own menus.
2) lowering a window in fluxbox (by middle-clicking the titlebar) sends
the window behind the desktop, only retrievable by using fluxbox's
window-selecting arrows.
3) if I run the kicker, (a) it only shows up on one virtual desktop in
fluxbox (I don't know how to launch it sticky, and it doesn't seem
possible to change that once it's running), and (b) when I collapse it
by clicking on one of its ends, it goes behind the desktop, just like
the windows in #2 above.
If anyone has any suggestions on how to overcome these obstacles, I'm
all ears.
Thanks
Thomas

I've read that it's possible to use Fluxbox as the window manager in
KDE, but everything on the Web explaining how to do this seems to be
either outdated or 404'd. Can someone point me to up-to-date
documentation on this? I'm using Woody / KDE 2.2.2 / Fluxbox 0.1.6.
Edit the file /usr/bin/kde2 and on the line:
ksmserver --restore
add
- --windowmanager <wm>
where <wm> is the path to the script/program to start your window manager.
In the file you can see the following documentation just before the ksmserver
line:
# Syntax: ksmserver [--restore] [--windowmanager <wm>]
# if no windowmanager is specified, ksmserver will ensure kwin is started.
# [--restore] should be controlled by kdm
