I use KDE for non-realtime apps or minor things with Ardour, JAMin,
Audacity. I use fluxbox when I'm doing multitrack recording. I just
put exec fluxbox into .Xclients-default in root's home directory, do an
init 3, and then startx. When I get done with a session I log off and
then do an init 5 to get back to the KDE login. This gives me the best
of both worlds depending on what I'm running. Note: I run audio as
root.
