Ubuntu studio uses xfce. That is what we mostly test for. There is nothing we do that should prevent the packages from working with whatever to want to use. I'll try and look more closely at this thread, but, what is the issue? It should be as simple as installing the applications you want to use. Think of it this way... Install what you want.. Kubuntu, for example.. It Ubuntu and add KDE... Install what specific apps you want. Then, you are not using Ubuntu studio... You are using the audio/video applications you want with the DE you want. You can take advantage of the Ubuntu/Ubuntu studio packages with whatever you want. You are welcome and encouraged to do so... But, you are not running Ubuntu studio at that point. Still, it should be as easy as installing what you want and configuring... What are the specific issues that are preventing that? Cheers! than there are desktops!
