Actually, there ARE problems. Kicker, the KDE panel, does NOT work 
properly with Waimea as window manager. It shakes and jitters and 
whatnot, making it completely unuseable. ( This is kde 3.1.x or 
above.) Asking the KDE devs they stated that waimea, like blackbox, 
was not a "standards compliant" window manager. I've not idea the 
truth in that (though I know it's true about blackbox), but Waimea 
will not work well as a KDE window manager.
