I don't know whether this means the programmers did their job or

not, but when I fire up rosegarden on my machine, it launches

kdeinit, dcopserver, and all that other cruft if it's not

already running.  
So even if you're running GNOME or IceWM or whatever, you are

also running KDE while you're running Rosegarden, just not the

desktop, panel, et al.
I personally have no problem with that, because (1) I run KDE

already and (2) Rosegarden has never been advertised as a

lightweight anything, but I see their point.  I doubt other

full-featured sequencer apps are much lighter.
