Ok, that's a step forward since I put your "startkde" item in my .xinitrc.
However, KDE said "unable to connect to X server" until I included
"X &". It works but something is still amiss. There is no KDE splash
background
and it seems "kinda slow".
## .xinitrc
X &
exec startkde
## WindowMaker can be used instead of X & \ startkde ##
#xclock -geometry 50x50-1-1 &

#wmaker #no & here! -BobMc-
