yes i know i created the same thread in installing gentoo but i think i made a mistake

i did emerge kde but i dont know how to start it- when i type startx, x loads i got a cursor an xterm and sth like a gui but no kde. In rc.conf i have XSESSION="kde-3.2"
and DISPLAYMANAGER="xdm" ->wasnt sure about that
as i have an x enviroment this cant be gfx card related can be?
any ideas?

i tried startkde and i got i wierd kde
i meanit seams like kde is in a window of the previous x gui
and all the windows of kde are windows of the x gui with this ugly green theme

you can also change your display manager from xdm to kdm
this will start the kde session manager at boot
