You are checking for x-session-manager here...

You are talking about x-window-manager here, but you didn't check for
it... KDE isn't really a wm and as such isn't listed in the wm
alternatives, which you specifically did not check.

The problem appears to be that since KDE provides an x-session-manager
that the users x-window-manager never gets looked at... I'm not certain
how to go about resolving that issue though since the KDE
x-session-manager and x-window-manager both get called from the startkde
script along with other KDE setup stuff.

- fall back on x-session-manager after user xsession, but before
