Have you tried typing "startx" from the command prompt? First, you have to
log in, as either "root" or as another name that you've entered. At the
prompt, type 'root' and then whatever password you chose, then simply type
'startx'. If you installed everything properly <meaning the kde packages and
xserver packages and all that>, then the WindowsX server should boot up.
