Changing the value of XSESSION in rc.conf will modify what window manager is started when you use startx. If you're not finding 'startkde' in your default path, look in /etc/env.d for a file like 48kdepaths-3.2.2. If it's there, try adding the line 'source /etc/profile' near the top of your ~/.bashrc file so that you'll be able to find startkde in your PATH.

When you change XSESSION in /etc/rc.conf, it only has an effect when you use startx. Also, make sure that line is uncommented -- ie, it reads:
| Code: |
XSESSION="kde-3.2.2"
|
Note that there is no prepended # in that line. Note also that the version number is complete, which is not the case with 'kde-3.2'. When in doubt, the value being assigned to XSESSION should correspond with an entry in the /etc/X11/Sessions folder.
I may be wrong, but I don't believe startkde will fire up an X-server if there isn't one already available. For that you'd need to run X first, export your DISPLAY variable, and then try running startkde. All, told, it's much easier to use startx instead.
Using X through a chrooted shell is complicated. You need to have your proc and dev file systems mounted at good points in the chroot environment. I've never had much luck getting this to work.

Why don't you emerge KDM so you have a menu to pick which desktop to start instead of going back and forth with changing XSESSION in /etc/rc.conf

kdm is allready part of kde so you allready have it installed.
Just edit /etc/rc.conf to DISPLAYMANAGER=kdm, then do rc-update add xdm default and you will be greated with a graphical login after reboot.

Just as ralph said. But if memory serves me right, you don't need to reboot.
starx from that point on should start xdm and thus kdm. Or just
# init 4
