startkde: Could not start kdeinit4. Check your installation.

at the moment the box has xfce4 on it and I decided to install kde4 (pkg_add
-r kde4). all went flawlessly. I added exec /usr/local/kde4/bin/startkde
to ~/.xinitrc but when I do startx I get the message above.
The box is a remote one. After the error, startx does not exit and if I use
x11vnc I see a black screen with a box that says Could not start kdeinit4.
Check your installation and a Okay button. If I click it, x11vnc exits
but startx does not.
However, if I run /usr/local/kde4/bin/startkde and x11vnc with -auth
option, I can see the kde4 login screen and after it accepts my credentials
I see Could not start kdeinit4. Check your installation. If I click
okay, x11vnc exits. I was unable to replicate this behaviour - it happened
only once (kde does not run without a X server so I'm presuming I had some X
process hanging somewhere)
I've been google-ing for quite some time now and I am unable to find
anything relevant.
The machine is ~800 km away so direct interaction is impossible.
Any ideas are welcomed.
PS: nothing relevant in messages.log, all.log and Xorg.log. The video card
is a nvidia FX5500.
PS2: on a vmware machine, (fresh install of F-BSD 8.0 - kernel+base) I had
no problems.
PS3: I have reinstalled all kde4 packages (pkg_add) and rebuild libthr from
source but with no effect :(
