You need to type ".xinitrc" make sure the "." is at the front and make sure
it is in the home directory of the user who wants kde.
May I suggest again that you stick with Gnome? ;)
This technique has worked since the beginning of time with YDL.
if you are user "andrew" (and you use defaults), the file might be:
/home/andrew/.xinitrc
to make sure it is there, inside your home directory, type "ls -la". That
will present all the "dot" files.
