I experienced Big Pain(tm) when trying this - It worked fine in my
previous life as an fvwm95 user on Solaris, but under KDE, I had to
resort to the following .xinitrc to get rid of the CDE/Solaris splash
screen:

#!/usr/local/bin/bash
#
#
# No annoying screen blanking
xset s off
#
# Add free fonts
xset fp default
xset +fp /apps/gnu/freefont
#
# Netscape 4.5 installation docs say this fixes font rendering problems
# with Solaris 2.6
xset +fp /usr/openwin/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi/
xset fp rehash
#
xhost + > /dev/null
#
# dthello outta ma face
/usr/openwin/bin/xsetroot -solid black
/mjg/utils/bin/killproc dthello
#
# Qt/KDE initialisation
PATH=$PATH:/mjg/utils/kde/bin
QTDIR=/mjg/utils/qt
if [ $LD_LIBRARY_PATH ]
then
        LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$QTDIR/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
else
        LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$QTDIR/lib
fi
LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
export PATH
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH
export LIBRARY_PATH
/mjg/utils/kde/bin/startkde &
#/export/home/mgumbley/utils/bin/fvwm95 &
sleep 15
xterm -geometry 80x10-0-0 -T Console -name console -C
