JFYI, if you want to start KDE automatically with 'startx', put the
following line in ~/.xinitrc (create it if it doesn't exist):

exec startkde  

If you're using your method because you might want to start a different WM,
I have a modification of the startx script that allows you to do, eg,
"startx kde" to start KDE, or "startx gnome" to start GNOME, etc. I can
send it to you if you like.

Hrm, that sounds very weird. Perhaps you have conflicting versions of KDE
libraries/apps lying around. I'd suggest removing the whole lot with:
% pkg_delete -r qt\*
and then reinstalling KDE (you could use the meta-port).

If that doesn't work, or if you'd like a less extreme suggestion, you could
ask on the kde-freebsd mailing list (kde@xxxxxxxxxxx).

Regards,
Phil
