I have nothing in my ~ dir like .xinitrc or any of that.

My /usr/X11R6/etc/rc.d/kdm.sh file contains...

#!/bin/sh
#

PREFIX=/usr/local

case "$1" in
start)
        ${PREFIX}/bin/kdm &
        ;;
stop)
        /usr/bin/killall -KILL -m kdm 
        ;;
*)
        echo "Usage: `basename $0` start | stop"
        exit 64
        ;;

esac

exit 0


At that point, kdm defaults take over and startkde ends up getting
executed from /usr/local/share/config/kdm/Xsession.
