As I said... "unless I am wrong" :-)  I was speaking from past experience
only, and the basic steps outlined still hold.  twin is not going to go
away, but kwin should be allowed (along with any other WM) in TDE
sessions.

I meant nepomuk, not akodanai.  It can be hard to keep all of the (foreign
language) codenames straight in one's mind. :-)

On my Ubuntu system nepomuk has to be installed with kwin:

===========================================================================

~$ sudo apt-get install kde-window-manager
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
The following extra packages will be installed:
  kdebase-runtime kdelibs5-data kdelibs5-plugins kdoctools
kubuntu-debug-installer libkdecorations4 libkephal4 libkwineffects1a
libkworkspace4
  libvirtodbc0 qapt-batch virtuoso-minimal virtuoso-opensource-6.1-bin
virtuoso-opensource-6.1-common
The following NEW packages will be installed:
  kde-window-manager kdebase-runtime kdelibs5-data kdelibs5-plugins
kdoctools kubuntu-debug-installer libkdecorations4 libkephal4
libkwineffects1a
  libkworkspace4 libvirtodbc0 qapt-batch virtuoso-minimal
virtuoso-opensource-6.1-bin virtuoso-opensource-6.1-common

===========================================================================

~$ dpkg -L kdebase-runtime-data | grep nepomuk | grep autostart
/usr/share/autostart/nepomukserver.desktop

===========================================================================

so that is NOT an option for me.
