Frankly speaking, I also do not see many options...knoda looks dead,
kexi is not ready and was crashing a lot when I played with it.

Only, Glom which I still did not install (fiddling with its deps) and
Bond.

Is it possible to access Bond apps from outside?

That's I already have installed...

...but no KDE here (actually I do not use any DE - only plain xmonad)
