Try deleting ~/.dmrc.  I just tried this again with my twm.desktop (I
don't have KDE installed, but I assume the example on I gave in the FAQ
would work for KDE), and it worked fine:

[Desktop Entry]
Encoding=3DUTF-8
Name=3DTWM
Comment=3DThis session logs you into twm
Exec=3D/usr/X11R6/bin/twm
TryExec=3D/usr/X11R6/bin/twm
Icon=3D
Type=3DApplication

I have a ~/.xsession file, and that doesn't interfere.  I also have a
~/.gnomerc (not used by GDM anymore), and that doesn't interfere.  Nor
does ~/.xinitrc.  However, I haven't tried ~/.Xclients yet, though.  If
you have such a file, you might try removing it.
