Well, I just went back to xmonad since waiting about 30 seconds for the login on my notebook is not really acceptable – however as compromise I launch a kdeinit4 process (thank’s for the hint @kalten) in my .xinitrc to have faster launch times for kde apps.

It sounds weird, it smells weird, it feels weird – in short it is weird. However it really works.

To start KDE apps with the speed of a running KDE and the tiling abilities and speed of xmonad is really a great combination.
