KDE3 Knews on XFCE4/lxdm

I'm a absolutely fan of the kde knews. But, kde3 isn't further developed. So I use XFCEE4 running on LXDM yet and kNews is not working. Really??? I experimented a lot and here is a solution (working on openSUSE): - install kdebase3-workspace and knews zypper in kdebase3-workspace kdenetwork3-news - try to start appletproxy knewsticker.desktop - ok, but this is not what we want. So install devilspie zypper in devilspie - configure it mkdir ~/.devilspie cd ~/.devilspie echo '(debug)' > ~/.devilspie/debug.ds echo '( if (is (window_name) "KNewsTicker") ( begin (geometry "1890x25+0+-25") (undecorate) (maximize_horizontally) (skip_tasklist) (pin) (below) ) )' > ~/.devilspie/knewsticker.ds - run xfce4-settings-manager, select "Session and Startup" -> Application Autostart -> Add new entry: Name: devilspie Command: devilspie -a - create a KNews Starter echo ' [Desktop Entry] X-SuSE-translate=true NoDisplay=true Name=KNewsTicker Type=Application Exec=appletproxy knewsticker.desktop Icon=knewsticker GenericName=News Ticker Terminal=false X-KDE-StartupNotify=true X-DCOP-ServiceType=Unique Categories=Qt;KDE;Network;X-KDE-More;News; ' > KNewsTicker.desktop - well, it works :))) - BTW, if you like to kill knewsticker, try this: echo ' [Desktop Entry] Version=1.0 Type=Application Name=killKnews Comment= Exec=killall -9 appletproxy Icon=clanbomber Path= Terminal=false StartupNotify=false ' > killKnews.desktop - thats all
