Xnest & kde3
by Charles Samuels on Tuesday 13/Nov/2001, @13:24

Using Xnest is easy:

first, start Xnest:

Xnest -ac -fp /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc,/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Type1,/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi,/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Speedo :1'

-ac makes it accept connections from anywhere (you may or may not need this)
-fp [path,path,...] sets the location of the fonts
:1 makes it become DISPLAY=:1

Then prepare a non-conflicting KDEHOME

export KDEHOME=$HOME/.kde3 # where to store local data
mkdir $KDEHOME/tmp-$HOSTNAME # non conflicting sycoca db, only need to do this once, the rest are done every time, since environment vars are lost

export DISPLAY=:1 # use the Xnest server
export KDEDIR=/opt/kde3 # duh :)
export QTDIR=/opt/qt3
export PATH=$KDEDIR/bin:$QTDIR/bin:$PATH # some updated files
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$KDEDIR/lib:$QTDIR/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH # where to find shared objects

startkde # start kde

Wasn't there one app that allowed (among other things) using Xnests as textures on 3d objects, mostly as a demo? k3dworkbench or something like that.
