All are installed here too.

The KDE is installed in /usr.

Here is what I did:

1. cat > .xinitrc << "EOF"
# Begin .xinitrc file
xterm -g 80x40+0+0 &
xclock -g 100x100-0+0 &
twm
EOF

2. startx

3. On xterm:
No $DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS yet
eval `dbus-launch --sh-syntax --exit-with-session`

echo $DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS
unix:path=/var/tmp/dbus-XdU7IrFpIn,guid=4ea14ef09629ea18bde8fbb64b4d4b09

4. On xterm:
/usr/bin/startkde >kde.log 2>&1

xmessage pop up:
Could not start D-Bus. Can you call qdbus?

Here is the kde.log:

kdostartupconfig4(7634) main: Running kdostartupconfig.
kdostartupconfig4(7634) main: 
"/usr/home/testuser/.kde4/share/config/startupconfigkeys"
kdostartupconfig4(7634) KLocalePrivate::initEncoding: Cannot resolve 
system encoding, defaulting to ISO 8859-1.
xset: bad font path element (#23), possible causes are:
Directory does not exist or has wrong permissions
Directory missing fonts.dir
Incorrect font server address or syntax
Link points to "/tmp/testuser-kde4/kde-testuser"

Link points to "/tmp/testuser-kde4/ksocket-testuser"
startkde: Starting up...
startkde: Could not start D-Bus. Can you call qdbus?
