NAME
       startkde - Starts up the KDE Desktop Environment


SYNOPSIS
       startkde


DESCRIPTION
       This  manual  page  documents  briefly the startkde command.  This manual page was written for the Debian
       distribution because the original program does not have a manual page.

       The startkde script starts up the K Desktop Environment and is typically executed by your  login  manager
       (e.g. xdm, gdm, kdm, wdm or from your X startup scripts). startkde in turn launches ksmserver, which will
       load your last session, or a default session that includes the standard KDE programs if no saved  session
       is available.

       startkde,  with  ksmserver,  is  a  standard X11R6 session manager that can manage any X11R6 SM compliant
       program.

       startkde and ksmserver use the contents of the ~/.kde directory for starting previously  saved  sessions.
       Source  scripts  found  in  ~/.kde/env/*.sh  can  be  used  to  define environment variables that will be
       available to all KDE programs.

       For anything else (that doesn't  set  env  vars,  or  that  needs  a  window  manager),  better  use  the
       ~/.kde/Autostart folder.

       At the end of a session, the scripts found in ~/.kde/shutdown will be executed.


OPTIONS
       startkde takes no command line options.
