Create a file called .xinitrc in your home directory, and in that file add the line
exec startkde
Now run startx and KDE will start up.

THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The Gentoo docs do not mention this as a requiredt step.... however, no amount of startkde would do it (startx and then startkde from inside x would, but it was ugly.) |

If you want to start KDE from the prompt just do:
| Code: | | startx /usr/kde/3.2/bin/startkde -- :1 |
Obviously /usr/kde/3.2/bin/ will need to change if your startkde is is a different place. |
