Which "Fine Manual" are we talking about here for kde and where might it be
found?

I've set in /etc/rc.conf DISPLAYMANAGER=kdm and invoked 'rc-update add xdm
boot'. I have also created (in /root) an .xinitrc with startkde in it as
mentioned in a previous post last night.
When I reboot the computer, I now get a slightly different version of twm but
no kde.
I can invoke some kde programs such as kwrite, khexedit and all their widgets
are rendering, so I think I am very close, but not quite able to get kde to
startup in Gentoo yet.
Some suggestions on areas to look would be appreciated.

if you use xdm, then you won't need .xinitrc in your home directory, this file is for startx. iirc
try to put XSESSION="kde" in your /etc/rc.conf
