Do you have kde installed? TO start kde, the command is 'startkde'

What do you get when you type startx?

To specify the default desktop, you will need to edit /etc/sysconfig/desktop and add KDE or GNOME to the desktop line.

At your terminal window type
gedit .xinitrc

If there is anything in there, delete it
put in
startkde
or
exec gnome-session

Run xwmconfig to choose the default window manager (you sound like your using something other than kde). Then run startx.
