OK, I understand it. But running KDE clock will require to load KDE libs
and other dependencies what will slow your machine down again.
I think it does not make much sens to use light WM and bloat it with
heavy features from "big" desktops - when you want to have it fast, of
course. Similarly, like running Nautilus with XFCE :-)

If you re-enable KDE features you will have KDE back,
but made with XFCE.
Just my 5 cents, if you don't mind.
