When I run /sw/opt/kde4/x11/bin/startkde It returns with
Richard-Miless-iMac:~ rmiles$ startkde: Starting up...
Warning: Path of socketfile exceeds UNIX_PATH_MAX.
kdeinit4: Aborting. bind() failed: Address already in use
Could not bind to socket 
'/private/var/folders/y1/y1PaqlcsHtiwD5ljNRvEck+++TI/-Tmp-/ksocket-rmiles/kdeinit4__tmp_launch-8oKTiR_org.macosforge.xquartz_0'
ksmserver(46630) KSMServer::restoreSession: KSMServer::restoreSession  "saved 
at previous logout"
kwin: it looks like there's already a window manager running. kwin not started.
ksmserver(46630) KSMServer::wmProcessChange: Window manager "kwin" failed to

 and when i quit quartz….
rmiles$ ksmserver: Fatal IO error: client killed
startkde: Shutting down...
Warning: Path of socketfile exceeds UNIX_PATH_MAX.
