  Hi,

  Thanks for the corrections.

   Well, I've 'heard' it is a 'KDE app'.

  Again, it seems that I was wrong. This time I'm at fault. Gnome
info stresses the fact taht its WM-independent (moreover it does not
include one).  KDE info (from the site intro) says sg like 
'KDE is more than a WM, actually only less then XX% of the code
is the WM'.  It doesn't say that it requires KWM, but you get the sense.
The FAW you quote is more explicit on this:
