I was able to turn off Plasma with Kevin's instruction (editing
plasma.desktop in share/autostart). But there is a problem in that KWin will
not repaint the background.  I set the background color with xsetroot -solid
blue, but as windows are dragged around Kwin will not fill the windows path
with blue.

I think there is a environment variable to resolve this kwin painting
issue.  Is this true, can some tell me what it is ?

Thanks again,
David
