Look in ~/ < home> and see if you have a  .xinitrc file. If you do
make put this in the file


#!/bin/sh
# $XConsortium: xinitrc.cpp,v 1.4 91/08/22 11:41:34 rws Exp $

userresources=3D$HOME/.Xresources
usermodmap=3D$HOME/.Xmodmap
sysresources=3D/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xinit/.Xresources
sysmodmap=3D/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xinit/.Xmodmap

<snipped>

# start some nice programs

rxvt -bg black -fg white -fn vga &
xset s off
startkde  <-------------------- starts KDE

If you do not have a  .xinitrc, you cam copy the system one from
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xinit/xinitrc to you home as .xinitrc
 and edit it as above. Remove any ther WM starting in the file
such as xdm.

Then your start as you were with ' startx '
