Hi

Instead of using a full-blown new virtual X for developing software you can use Xephyr to embed your KDE 4 session into your working KDE 3 or other X11 environment.

If you want to get a minimal KDE session up and running, just launch Xephyr (available in Kubuntu as xserver-xephyr; Gentoo users compile x11-base/xorg-server with USE=”kdrive”):

Xephyr :1 -extension GLX &

You can now launch KDE:

export DISPLAY=:1
/path/to/kde4/bin/startkde &

For other X11 environment just change /path/to/kde4 like:

/usr/bin/startx &

or

/usr/bin/startkde &

or

/usr/bin/startxfce&

You can use “locate” command to find paths like:

locate startkde
