Launch KDE is a small combination between Apple script and shell script that Launches KDE (as installed by Fink) using Apple's X11 but with KDE's native window manager as a separate instance of X11 so that the normal Aquafied X11 can be used at the same time. This is just a small project I thought other newbies (like me) might have fun with. No great programing here.

What's New:
Oops. .Mac decided to serve a random unrelated files and then Mail decided to Junk all comments.

Requirements:
Apple's X11, and KDE (as installed by Fink).
