Goofed up, sorry.  I figured out that the command above in my ~/.xinitrc 
was supposed to be 'exec startkde' not exec kde4.  Just in case, before 
I changed it, I did 'make update' in /usr/src/pkgsrc/kdelibs4.  I don't 
know if it brought anything else in as I was already at:

from my previous attempts.
While it doesn't appear to be as quick to load as icewm, maybe that is 
to be expected.  I received a warning box on this first startup about 
'Nepomuk server not starting'.  I'll try and determine the issue with 
that later today.

Thank You,
