Thanks for the help.  This is EXACTLY what it turned out to be.... twm had
an Xterm window open... boy, was I really in trouble when I closed that
window and I just had a blank slate with NOTHING on it.... eventually
figured out that you hold down the LEFT mouse button instead of the right
one and I was able to get the xterm window back.

Once I had that back, I tried startkde and BAM, kde started up and ran just
fine....  Thanks again for the help.

I am going to stay with SSH for a bit longer at the command line because
there is so much more to learn before I dumb down to a GUI..... but I guess
learning to use the Unix GUIs is learning, too :)
