Hi all
I've just installed KDE by using pkg_add kdelibs on OpenBSD 3.6
I can start X with startx, I can start KDE with startkde or kdm
However after logging into kde all I get is an xterm. As I have never
installed a window manager on OpenBSD before I'm not sure if this is what
I should expect or (as I suspect) I have been shortchanged.

I should point out my monitor is of a vintage that certain resolutions
cause it bork (Man. Commodore model 1930 III )
However I have had debian running KDE on the same monitor without issue
Any ideas?
TIA
