KDE minimal setting

Wondering if KDE has an easy "one button" config mode to disable kde
down to a bare-minimum environment for older, low RAM machines.

Possible future enhancement ?

Or perhaps a guideline on how to manually strip back KDE to the bare basics.

thanks in advance

It's already been solved. Use smaller window managers; icewm is pretty
easy to use, although it's missing a lot of eye candy and 'do it for
you' stuff -- but then, that's where all the memory goes . . . :-)

Also look into WindowMaker, xfce, fvwm2.

Don't forget fluxbox!

And you can run all your KDE/Gnome/etc. apps in these window managers,
they are just that, they manage your windows
