Yes I always use startx and run stuff via .xinitrc.  I'm currently using
KDE 3.5 and it has a couple of keyboard-related options which could
affect the keymap, both under "Regional and Accesibility": "keyboard
layouts" and "Xkb Options".  I have both of these disabled which means
KDE does not touch the keymap.  

Here is the output of the two commands:


$ setxkbmap -print
xkb_keymap {
        xkb_keycodes  { include "xfree86+aliases(qwerty)"       };
        xkb_types     { include "complete"      };
        xkb_compat    { include "complete"      };
        xkb_symbols   { include "pc(pc102)+us"  };
        xkb_geometry  { include "pc(pc102)"     };
};


$ setxkbmap -print | xkbcomp - :0
syntax error: line 1 of pc
last scanned symbol is: -VMode
Error:            Error interpreting include file "pc"
