startx uses ~/.xinitrc to start up the X session. In case it doesn't

Or, write your own .xinitrc (this is what I do) to start up a session
the way you want the simplest is to use a one line .xinitrc with
exec /usr/bin/startkde
I just put the bare "startkde" in my ~/.xinitrc. Of course, the method I
use assumes I'm not doing other things in that file (which I'm not,
other than switching between WMs via commented-out lines, as below).
My ~.xinitrc file looks something like this:
