This is twm. It's a window manager displaying three xterms. It's
not a desktop environment.

Because... maybe you're missing the correct startup files. X display
managers (xdm, kdm, gdm) and the startx command behave a bit differently.
The easiest way to be able to use *any* method of starting is to have
the following files in your home directory:
1. ~/.xsession
#!/bin/csh
source ~/.cshrc
exec ~/.xinitrc
1. ~/.xinitrc
#!/bin/sh
[ -f ~/.xmodmaprc ] && xmodmap ~/.xmodmaprc
# ... your further startup commands here, e. g.
xsetroot -solid rgb:3b/4c/7a
xset b 100 1000 15 &
xset r rate 250 30 &
xset s off &
xset -dpms &
# this starts your desired window manager / DE
exec startkde
Refer to the KDE documentation about what's the correct name to start
KDE. I think it's "startkde", but I may be wrong because I am not using
KDE, so it's honestly just a guess.
Make sure that both files are +x attributes.
% chmod +x .xinitrc .xsession
