    KDE runs under the X Window System (XFree86). So everything is working
    the way it should. The only thing left is to tell the X Window System
    that you want to use KDE instead of the default twm.

    This list is not supposed to ask technical questions, so I can't give
    you a technical answer. But I can direct you to the FreeBSD Handbook,
    section 5.7.2.2, which tells you everything you need to know. The
    Handbook is online at <http://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/> and if you
    installed it, locally at </usr/share/doc/handbook/>.
