I once just renamed kdeinit to something like kdeinit.off so that I could use ther tabbed X terminal program called konsole. konsole gave some errors on launch, but otherwise mostly worked, though some functionality was working. In short, it seemed to me that if one is going to run a bunch of KDE apps they are probably best off to just run KDE wm, too.
