Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't KDE use its own window manager?  If
that is true, the KDE commands wont help someone using the enlightenment wm.
On the other hand, I don't use enlightenment, so I don't have anything
constructive to say regarding the problem...  Maybe that would be a good
topic for a meeting--the different features and basic commands of the more
prominent window managers?  Could be a good intro for those who are just
starting out and think that the world revolves around KDE and Gnome.
