I'm posting this here in case it might be useful to the people working on KDE.
The problem with KDE startup that I described earlier (same one Douglas Wing was having) was caused by kdeinit being unhappy about multiple definitions of the variable _name (see the log I posted to fink-users earlier). This problem goes away if I do unsetenv DYLD_FORCE_FLAT_NAMESPACE (it was set to 1). I tried this after reading the dyld man page. I still can't get a normal startup, because it appears that the variable gets reset to 1 (by XDarwin?), so that if I try to start KDE using the recommended method via XDarwin I get the same error log as before. However, if I start up XDarwin with ICEwm, for example, then open up a terminal, unset the variable, then launch kdeinit, it runs through its paces without giving the error message about multiple definitions, and without giving any other error message (but also without anything noticeable happening to the desktop environment).
