Find attached a copy of my /etc/X11/xdm/Xsession, /etc/X11/xinit/Xclients
and /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc. They have everything in them for starting kdm,
and executing startkde, they also do the setup for KDEDIR, PATH and all
other associated environment variables. This is the way DR3 for MkLinux
comes.

Hope this helps, and solves the confusion.

Cheers,

Bruce...
