You need to setup your .Xdefaults and .xinitrc in your home directory. Here
is a sample that should get you started. You can also modify the system
xinitrc file if you so choose to start kde by default.
.xinitrc
=====================================================
xrdb -load .Xdefaults
xmodmap -e 'keysym Alt_L = Meta_L Meta_L'
# The following line is key to getting kde to show up...
startkde
=====================================================
.Xdefaults
=====================================================
XTerm*ttyModes: erase ^?
XTerm*termName: xterm-color
=====================================================
As always, your mileage may vary
