This turned out to be relevant - resulted in replacing 4 and installing 7 
packages.  One of these has included startkde (which was absent before).  
Unfortunately it still doesn't run.  
startkde: line 3: /usr/bin/kde2: No such file or directory
startkde: line 3: exec: /usr/bin/kde2: cannot execute: No such file or 
directory

Which is odd.  Surely all the later kde versions use kde not kde2?
