Try "exec startkde" instead of just "startkde." Just for
giggles, here the two files I needed for my RedHat 6.0 box
here at work:
=========[begin .Xclients]==========
#!/bin/bash
# Created by Red Hat Desktop Switcher
if [ -e "$HOME/.Xclients-$HOSTNAME$DISPLAY" ]; then
exec $HOME/.Xclients-$HOSTNAME$DISPLAY
else
exec $HOME/.Xclients-default
fi
=============[end]===================
=========[begin .Xclients-default]==========
# Created by Red Hat Desktop Switcher
exec startkde
=============[end]===================
See if putting those two files in your home directory help
any...
