Try issuing, as regular user and not root:

startx

Then let us know what happens.

You don't run startkde from the command line. It belongs as the final line in ~/.xinitrc. What you run from the command line is startx. The easiest way to place the window manager you want at the end of a properly configured ~/.xinitrc is to run xwmconfig from the command line, and then choose the window manager you want from the menu it calls. In your case, you'd choose KDE from that menu. Then do startx from the command line.
