I _think_ Ron is saying that earlier before posting his original 
question he had vaguely remembered the need to feed a parameter to 
"startx", and had therefore earlier tried "startx startkde", but it 
failed. When Michael wrote "startx /usr/bin/startkde", Ron then realized 
why his earlier attempt had bombed: he had failed to provide the full 
path to "startkde".

At least that's what I took him to be saying. Perhaps he'll jump back in 
here and clarify for us.
