Running KDE programs under GNOME 2.22

I've been using Arch Linux for a while now with KDEmod but now I want to try out the new GNOME 2.22 desktop. So yesterday I installed gnome and gnome-extra from the repos and changed inittab to gdm. So I'm running GNOME now but I can't start ANY KDE programs under GNOME at all like Kile or Amarok. Under Ubuntu I had no issues with that. Is there something I need to set in order to run KDE programs under GNOME because I can see that KDE is in /opt/kde? I am having one major issue with GNOME 2.22 though and that is that gecko is constantly crashing when I'm exiting Firefox and Nautilus. Anybody else having that issue?

Regards

André

Re: Running KDE programs under GNOME 2.22

Hey, I'm using the same programs :-)

I just created two shortcuts to /opt/kde/bin/amarokapp an /opt/kde/bin/kile on my desktop and that's all... maybe there are other solutions like adding the bin directory to the path or adding symbolic links but I was just to lazy ;-)

Yeah in Ubuntu I did the same but I don't see Amarok anywhere under Applications->Sound & Video when running GNOME.

Re: Running KDE programs under GNOME 2.22

Maybe you could try adding the missing entries in the menus manually?

Nope, for some reason I can't edit the GNOME menu panel. What I don't understand is that why I can't see the KDE programs I've installed in the GNOME menu panel. I'm and runnig the kick-off menu in KDEmod. Could that be it?

Re: Running KDE programs under GNOME 2.22

Any other ideas? My GNOME installation seems to be completely broken now. Every time I log in nautilus crashes, so I can't see the icons/shortcuts on my desktop and looking at my Home directory is also impossible. Now running KDEmod I can't start avant-window-navigator or screenlets anymore under KDEmod. Avant-window-navigator gives

[af@andre ~]$ avant-window-navigator

** (avant-window-navigator:12712): WARNING **: Failed to make connection to session bus: Failed to connect to socket /tmp/dbus-0P1xCZLQew: Opkobling nægtet

and screenlets
