Stay with your file. The different file was used in KDE 3.1 days and
may have some issues today with 3.3 or 3.4.
This is a copy of my file:
_______
#!/bin/sh
#quartz-wm --only-proxy & ## No longer required.
source /sw/bin/init.sh
export KDEWM=kwin
/sw/bin/startkde >/tmp/kde-$USER.log 2>&1
_______
I made a small change to the last line so that multiple users can be
logged in using quick login at the same time an use there own tmp log
file for startkde.
Note(1) the autocutsel was useful in the KDE 3.1 days. Don't think it
is necessary today.
Note{2} "source /sw/bin/init.sh" and ". /sw/bin/init.sh" are
equivalent

Don't mean to butt in, but at this point I might ask Kevin, could you
post the exact contents of your .xinitrc file?
Mine looks like this:
/Users/tmgregg>more .xinitrc
. /sw/bin/init.sh
autocutsel &
export KDEWM=kwin
quartz-wm --only-proxy &
/sw/bin/startkde >/tmp/kde.log 2>&1
If yours is similar, then you may have problems caused by TextEdit.
Depending on how you save the file, it may append a .txt extension to
the file without telling you, in which case X11 won't see the file.
This is my file...
#!/bin/sh
source /sw/bin/init.sh
export KDEWM=kwin
/sw/bin/startkde >/tmp/kde.log 2>&1
but... I have it working now.
I made the file with Mi (a text editor I sometimes use for html) and
it worked. Must have been a problem with the kind of file TextEdit
makes.
My file is very different from yours - does it matter, should I use
yours instead?
Many thanks to all who helped, I now have KDE up and running.
