Well, never tried that ... but I do use other parts of KDE, so not sure how practical it would be to not have the base.

Well, getting deep into bikeshed territory here, but, yeah, I know. At first this used to frustrate me, but I've also found that other parts of kdepim are useful to me, and I like having the integration (KGpg in particular is a big help when using with KMail, and I've come to like KOrganizer, as it integrates with my address book and KMail), but I don't usually run KDE as a desktop, as it's more than I need. Also, it's nice to be able to install other parts of KDE if I find the need. I run xfce4 with parts of KDE and Gnome, and my favorite terminal emulator is Eterm (it's so fast), though the full Enlightenment is cool but not my thing, and I never did like Gnome as a desktop. Sorta piecemeal, but it works for me. I'm just glad disk space is cheap these days ;) - jt
