Hi,

I just noticed that a lot of meant-to-be-configurable things in startkde are
hardcoded.

For example: Do we really need kxmlrpcd on each and every desktop session?
(at least for example I don't need it on my 64mb-ram laptop)

How about moving it to kdenetwork and starting it via a kcminit module?
(combined with a kconfig check, so that there is at least a way to
configure it via kconfig editing (at least ofr 2.0, as a kcontrol option
would break translations))

IMHO the same applies for khotkeys and kwrited (the latter I like to run
when I'm at work, but on my single-user-desktop at home I don't need it)

Opinions? Flames? :-)


I volunteer to hack three kcminit modules to start those three components
after a quick kconfig check, and remove their hardcoded entries from
startkde, if people agree :-)

Bye,
 Simon
