Amarok on Non-KDE Desktops
Although Amarok is one the most well-known KDE applications, it can run on other desktop environments too.
This section shows how Amarok can be used on non-KDE Linux desktops. These are examples; there may be more.
GNOME
To configure the proxy for Amarok on GNOME, modify and add this to ~/.kde/share/config/kioslaverc

Enlightenment
The Amarok systray icon does not work by default with E17. So, one should disable the
from in Amarok's preferences.XFCE
To launch Amarok faster, enable
by going into and checking the option.Fluxbox
If Amarok is taking to long to load, add
exec kdeinit
to ~/.fluxbox/startup.
LXDE
In case Amarok starts slowly in LXDE, you can add
to the startup applications using the command.
