In the info pane for bundle-kde and bundle-kde-ssl, there are instructions for setting KDE via modification of the .xinitrc file. These instructions are actually two commands although they appear as a single concatenated command line.
Yeah, I don't know what to do about that other than to have fink commander preserve the formatting that was put into the info files...

Secondly, a major problem with the .xinitrc instructions as they are given is that each user will attempt to write to the same log file. Once a user has run the startup once, only that user can then run KDE since other users are prevented from overwriting the log file. Can I suggest that the instructions be modified either to write to /dev/null, to remove the log file after succesful completion or to write to log files made user-unique by the inclusion of a ${USER} somewhere in the name.
I'll see what I can do. I don't want to make it /dev/null, if that was the case I would tell them to not do it at all, but that's pretty much the only debugging information we get if something goes wrong.

Finally (and I suspect this to be a similar manifestation), I get errors grumbling about sound out when starting KDE up as any user other than my admin account. Where is KDE attempting to open a connection/file to and how should I fix it?
It's probably some file in /tmp I suppose, I'm not sure what to tell you for that.
