Re: GTK?

I also like Karamba, despite some problems I'm having with it (seg faults when using rss output from slashdot), and it requiring KDE. I don't really have anything against KDE, and I use things like KMail fairly often, I just prefer enlightenment as my window manager (without gnome btw), which is where the problem comes in. Since enlightenment uses its own background daemon, and karamba needs kdesktop to render its background, I can't run karamba under E. I wonder how difficult it would be to get Karamba to fetch the desktop background from something other than kdesktop?

It would be easier (and a much better idea) to make enlightenment publish its background in way compatible with KRootPixmap, that way anything in KDE that uses it for transparency would work nicely with enlightenment.

Is there a workaround for using karamba with enlightenment and still get transparency? I like enlightenment and my only interest from kde is superkaramba

thanks.

Not unless you use kdesktop.. you can try gdesklets, which doesn't depend on KDE's background mechanism

Ive tried:

1- enlightenment
kdesktop --x-root
superkaramba

# result: still no transparency, black background on superkaramba
# and no enlightenment (left,middle,right) click menus

What is the right way to do it?

thanks
