Benjamin....if, in a console, you were to type 'start' and
then press the TAB key the resulting display would be similar
to the one below. In that list of possible commands
beginning with 'start' there is one I believe might
successfully launch KDE. :-)
[alan@obi-wan alan]$ start
startgnome startinnfeed startsawfish startx
starticewm startkde startwindowmaker
startxfce
[alan@obi-wan alan]$ start
