I don't normally use KDM to start my KDE-4 session so I didn't include
that. Sorry about that.
The problem is that you have two "startkde" scripts on your system and
how this should work is that the PATH should determine which one to use.
However, the KDE "session" desktop file: "kde.desktop" (which is in the
directory: $KDEDIR/share/apps/kdm/sessions" {unless the default was
changed}) might have the full path for the "startkde" command. For this
to work, you need to remove the full path so that these two lines are thus:
Exec=startkde
TryExec=startkde
and then it should work.
