That is precisely what was driving me nuts. Follow the instructions (for
kdm in my case) and the result is no workie.

I think I see that now. I actually erred. The script changes I made to
my .xinitrc file were not responsible for getting things going
(sortof)...so in actuality, I guess I really don't know why, all of a
sudden, kdm seems to work in a limited fashion.
I found that my .xinitrc file changes did not work after killing kdm and
logging in text means. Upon running startx I would get error messages
complaining about the ifelse statements. I eliminated them, restarted
kdm and found it still worked (sortof).
