Are you following the book by putting _only_ "exec startkde" in your
.xinitrc, or are you trying to start kde from an already running X

google suggests this might be associated with using nvidia drivers, or
flakey setup of user account, and is probably associated with some loss
of eye candy.

(usually affects gnome users).
