But somehow, being included with KDE makes people think it's finished. In any case, all you would need to run most KDE applications is qt2, kdesupport, and kdelibs. For the rest of them, you will need to add kdebase. No need to install kdeadmin, kdegames, kdenetwork, etc. Useful, but not necessary, are java and openssl for Konqueror. I think Konqueror alone is well worth the price of these additional libraries. It's like taking the best of NS/IE/WE without all of the kruft.
