This does not answer what the original question was about.
Anyway, what you want is:
xinit /usr/bin/startkde
(man xinit)
and for something really off-topic:
Alternatively, if you are already in runlevel5, want to test another
desktop, but just don't feel like loggiing out:
press Ctrl-Alt-F1
login
run:
xinit /usr/X11R6/bin/blackbox -- :1
(or any other desktop/
WM here)
Ctrl-Alt-F7 brings you back to your original console.
