Alright. This has been my project for tonight.
With my upgrade to Precise Puppy (which was originally solely so I could have a somewhat new version of Skype ), I found I was unable to run Xfce. Half of my programs were missing when I ran it. Openbox doesn't blink tray icons, and JWM is ugly. I'm one of those newer Puppy users who likes BLOAT ahah.
So I went searching for a WM, and jejy69's KDE.4.9.sfs greeted me (knowing my weakness for KDE, grrrr). I knew it was still a work in progress but I decided to take a risk. I didn't have a save file set up so I figured I had nothing to lose.
Issues I came across:
Jejy stated that his .sfs had no icons, so I had to install an icon pack. Not a big deal, I just went to KDE-Look and found one. Still some odd issues, such as on Kicker (is that what they call it nowadays) most of the icons aren't exact and there is no difference between them. (Applications, System, Recently used are the same)
My Amarok and aMSN won't run. Two programs I may have a hard time living without. (I will be with Windows Live Messenger until it dies, darn it!) Amarok was my own fault, it's meant for KDE 3.5; but Amarok xine-engine.so has issues. I installed a xine-engine.so that would've been compatible but the error persists. aMSN was mostly an experiment, although I knew it didn't run on Trinity in the past.
I get an odd dialog upon login, this to be exact. I guess that may be a part of my xine errors. (Sounds work fine however so I don't care).
Made it clicky for smaller monitors, sorry!
The big arrow is save2flash. Everything else is Plasmoids or self-explainatory.
KDE 4.9 on Precise, on Dell Optiplex GX520. 1GB ram, 1.6ghz processor. Wallpaper is one of my favourite bands but if you want a link lemme know!

I read your post and noticed you are using jejy69's KDE. Have you tried his full Puppy? http://lxpup.weebly.com/, has version LX 13.01 which does give you KDE4.10. He is currently working on LX 13.04, the beta is also available for testing.
Here is a picture of my laptop (see my signature) running LX 13.01 w/ KDE. Currently I am running LX 13.04 beta 5, so only LXDE for now. Here is the thread for his Puppy: http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=79810
EDIT to fix URL.

it's seems that cairo is not equal to wbar, isn't it?
can you tell us how to install that in puppy linux, please?
Thanks
Cairo is available in the Saluki repository, so I got it via the Puppy package manager for that distro.
Try the package manager for your version of Puppy - it may already be available.
Alternatively, do a search on the forum for 'cairo'. Here's a link I found for a thread about cairo on Slacko:

Good luck!

My puppy desktop
Hi i`m relatively new to puppy but aquired an old low resource machine and needed something small to run on it, puppy fitted the bill perfectly and this is the finished desktop.

Strange. It doesn't look like a Puppy... It looks like a dozen other Linux distros available on DistroWatch. It lacks personality, if you ask me.bark_bark_bark wrote:Slacko 5.5 with Jejy69's XFCE 4.12 sfs and Tango Icon theme from Slackware14 repo
Sorry if I'm bursting any bubble.
BFN.
