X is only X server. This is only gray screen. But the KDE is program that runs under X. There are different program for starting - startx, xinit and X. startx is a script that start many others things after starting X. You can use xinit for example for starting X and the 1 program under it. You can try by example "xinit /usr/bin/xclock" (if i could remember "/usr/bin/xclock" is a proper PATH). If you try "xinit" along - this start X and the terminal. Now type "startkde" in tne terminal or xclock or some X program.
