Something strange happens to one of my computers. If I launch KDE from xterm, once Apple's X11 has started up, I get a perfectly working KDE 3.1 desktop. However, if I want to get the KDE window manager to load, instead of quartz-vm, and modify the .xinitrc accordingly:
---
#exec quartz-wm
export KDEWM=kwin
exec startkde >/users/ramiro/desktop/kde.log 2>&1
---
KDE does not launch. Here is the end of the error log:

What can I do? KDE shutdown at the end of "configuring peripherals" (I use spanish as my primary language, so this is a direct translation).
My computer is on a local network, just in case it helps. I say so because of the recent KDE-smb problems since the latest security update. I print to a network printer, connected to a Win98 box through a parallel port. However, OS X is printing without any trouble, as usual.
