Plasma as a workspace under fluxbox

For many years now I've been using fluxbox as a windowmanager with
LXQT, and before that I used it as a desktop replacement (as in "going
windowmanager-only")

However, a few weeks ago I was experimenting with using fluxbox as a
replacement for Kwin and something very interesting happened.  I happen
to have "minimize/iconfify" as a keyboard shortcut, and upon hitting
that hotkey too many times, I noticed that fluxbox would minimize the
plasma gui shell itself!

It took some experimentation (and if you folks want, I can write in
more detail) but I learned that by having the following stanzas in my
apps file...

[app] (class=plasmashell)
  [Workspace]	{2}
  [Sticky]	{no}
  [Alpha]	{255}
[end]

And then calling plasmashell from an autostart system (or putting it in
a hotkey with exec) I can limit plasma to workspace #2.  This gives me
a best of both worlds situation!  Pure fluxbox on some workspaces and
plasma in one place.  I can now hotkey into plasma when I want too
rather than having to logout and log back into a full plasma session to
get that desktop!

I'd love to talk more about this if there are any questions.

yours,
