	$ startkde

or put something like this in your ~/.xinitrc:

	exec gnome-session
or
	exec wmaker
etc.
and start x

	$ startx

You can use kdm (KDE) or gdm (GDM), they're display managers
that allow you to log into different sessions/desktop environments. you
may install /usr/ports/x11/gdm and put the following line in
your /etc/rc.conf file:

	gdm_enable="YES"

GDM will be started automatically when you boot next time.
Bye.
