If so, that should be the last command in your .xinitrc file. Otherwise, if you just "fall through" at the end of that script, nothing will happen indeed when you try to log in. Instead, the login greeter will reappear almost immediately.
My god, what are KDE/Plasma processes? How looks through all this just to sort the
Desktop-Icons. This is not practicable and a showkiller.
There is a /usr/bin/startx
The last lines in the .xinitrc look like this.
# finally start the window manager
#
unset WINDOW_MANAGER STARTUP
exec $WINDOWMANAGER ${1+"$@"}
# call failsafe
exit 0
