Starting KDE

After spending several exasperation days tring to get kde to run via
"startx", I informed that I needed to have this in the "~/.xinitrc" file

	exec ck-launch-session startplasma-x11

There is no mention of this on the FreeBSD
https://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/x11-wm.html site. I think that the
page should be updated with this:

The startkde script has been replaced by the native executables
startplasma-x11 and startplasma-wayland in 5.17. The ~/.xinitrc file
should contain:

	exec ck-launch-session startplasma-x11kde
