In which way are you starting X-Windows? Is it something like "startx --
-bpp 32" from shell? IMHO, if you have onlu one thing starting from your
.xinitrc it should look like "startkde" (without exec). In case if you
are starting something else _before_ WM you should write for example:
xterm &
cool_x_prog &
exec startkde

Sigh. I like to think it's just the Linux people who want to be on
the "leading edge" so bad they walk right off the precipice.
