28 In the old days, xdm used your ~/.xsession instead of ~/.xinitrc. I see that
29 /etc/X11/Sessions/Xsession still reads ~/.xsession, but I don't use kde so I
30 don't know what /etc/X11/Sessions/KDE-4 (or kde?) does when you run it.
31
32 Whatever is in that file must do something different than just run startkde, so
33 take a look at it.
