newbie question re startkde/xdm

I am just starting with FreeBSD 7.0 after using OpenBSD for several
years. I find that startx works but startkde does not (can't open
display ''). I think startkde is not adding an xauth entry on FreeBSD,
although startkde on OpenBSD does. How can I modify the FreeBSD
startkde so that it creates an xauth entry and starts properly?

Thanks.
