Upon using kdm to start up kde, I get the blue screen which shows me each service starting up in order, and after the startup sound plays, I get a grey screen and a mouse cursor. That is all that appears. It is rather amazing.
I kill kdm, log in, and run startx. Due to my . files, I get X up, but running twm. Then I move to one of the base xterms, 'killall twm' and then start up kde, with the command bash-2.04$ kde2 Was that the right thing to do? Here is where it gets interesting.....
