I think that is not the problem I'm facing:

When I start kde through "startx" my konsole has the enviroment set up 
properly.
When I start kde through kdm, the same console does not have the environment 
set up. 

If I had the problem you talk about, I would face it either way, right?

Thank you for your reply
