1 /** @mainpage The KDE Workspace
3 This is where the components that are only used when KDE is providing
4 a complete desktop environment live.
6 Of particular importance are <a href="kwin/html/index.html">KWin</a>, the
7 KDE window manager, and <a href="plasma/html/index.html">Plasma</a>, which
8 provides the workspace interface.
10 If you are developing Plasma plugins (Plasmoids), you are probably interested
11 in the <a href="libs/plasma/html/index.html">libplasma documentation</a>.
13 Other components that reside here are:
14 - KCheckPass, a simple program for checking whether a password is correct
15 - KCMInit, which allows KDE control modules to do initialization at the
16 start of a KDE session, for example setting the keyboard repeat rate
17 - KDM, the login manager for KDE
18 - KHotKeys, a daemon that allows actions to be performed when certain
19 combinations of keys are pressed
20 - Klipper, the KDE clipboard manager
21 - KMenuEdit, the manager for the desktop menu (the K menu)
22 - KRunner, which provides the launch ("run command") dialog, screensaver
23 activation and screen locking and control of application startup notification
24 - KScreenSaver, which provides pretty screensavers and is launched by
26 - KSMServer, the KDE session manager
27 - KSplash, the KDE splashscreen program
28 - KStartupConfig, which allows configuration files to be used in startkde
29 without linking to KDE libraries
30 - KTip, that little window that pops up when you start KDE with the Tip of
32 - SystemSettings, the KDE configuration program
33 - <a href="../solid/html/index.html">Various Solid components</a> useful in a
35 - StartKDE, the script that starts a KDE session
36 - Some wallpapers, and a basic K menu setup
38 @warning The applications and libraries in Workspace are only required to work
39 with X11. They will not be used on Windows or MacOS, or in other desktop
40 environments (such as GNOME). Applications should not depend on Workspace
41 unless they are a desktop component, such as a screensaver or a plasmoid.
