Full KDE 4 session
To run a full KDE 4 desktop environment session, you can either start it from the command line as you normally would, with something like this:
X :1 & export DISPLAY=:1 startkde
or you can can add it to your login manager. If you are using KDM (or a compatible login manager) this is done by creating a .desktop file in either `kde-config --prefix`/share/apps/kdm/sessions/ or in /usr/share/xsessions/. The easiest thing to do is to copy an existing kde.desktop file and name it kde4.desktop. Open this new .desktop file in a text editor and change the Exec, TryExec and Name entries to look something like this:
Exec=$HOME/kde/bin/startkde
TryExec=$HOME/kde/bin/startkde
Name=KDE4
Replace $HOME/kde in the example above with the prefix you are installing KDE4 into.
After restarting the login manager (Alt+e in KDM) this new entry should appear in the sessions menu.
You might have to edit your startkde scripts, ie: change
this
kdehome=$HOME/.kde
to this
kdehome=$HOME/.kde4
or paste this
export KDEDIR=`kde4-config --prefix`
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$KDEDIR/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
export PATH=$KDEDIR/bin/:$PATH
export KDEHOME=~/.kde4
