When you go to runlevel 5 you start xdm ( which is I belive the main
difference between 3 and 5) xdm executes /etc/X11/xdm/Xsession on startup
look what files in which order are started looked for and started there.
I also use KDE and use following method:
I modify /etc/X11/xinit/Xclients ,i.e. throw pretty much everything out
except startkde
to be able to execute startkde you have to add /opt/kde/bin to the PATH
(in /etc/profile), and you should remove any old .xsession or .Xclient
files from your home dir or modify them in the same way.
If you still have problems ask again,
