I noticed the startkde4 script honours the KDEWM environment variable. Removing the symlink and setting the KDEWM variable in .xinitrc/.xsession seems to work as well, e.g.: (this is supposed to be a single line) exec env KDEWM=/usr/local/bin/kwinv4 /usr/local/bin/ck-launch-session /usr/local/bin/startkde4
