make sure that you have QT 2.3.1, not Qt 2.3.2

Do not mix KDE and KWin (KDE's Window Manager).
KWin is pretty fast - it starts under 1 sec.
To check it, from the command promt run:
#X
than: switch to terminal 1 ((Ctrl+Alt+F1)
#aterm
or xterm
than: switch to terminal 7 ((Ctrl+Alt+F7)
#kwin
so now you will get kwin running, without KDE
as I mentioned, KWin starts pretty fast here.
