Except for the bugs and intricacies in KDE, which makes it far more difficult, not the least for newbies, to do more complex things. As your recipe is an example of. And in Knoppix 6.2.0, I wasn't able to set the correct screen resolution at all with KDE running. (Nor with Gnome, only LXDE did it right). Speaking as a KDE user since (ca) 1998, formerly very enthusiastic about it, I find that rather tragic.

Knoppix user password: I think at least xscreensaver uses it. I have disabled that one..
