new user access

Ive got a problem with users logging into kde.

I am using an install of LFS 6.11 with xorg. When I finished building my system I only had the root user. I installed both xorg and the core kde packages as root.

I have created a new user in kde but when I boot up (in to run level 3), login as my new user then type startx I only go into the xorg desktop (you know, with the clock and bash prompt)
I can load up kde from here by entering startkde but its sitting on top of the original xorg 'desktop'

Does anyone know how I might be able to get the user to startx straight into kde.

I think its worth mentioning that I did make a mistake on installing kde though.
In the blfs book it says to add the command...
http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/vie…e/kde/core.html
export PATH=$PATH:/opt/kde-3.4.1/bin
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=$PKG_CONFIG_PATH:/opt/kde-3.4.1/lib/pkgconfig

I think I missed it out! Would this be the cause of my problem? Kde works fine. I didnt get any errors on install and its been great from day one.

Hope someone can help! I hate using root the way I am doing.
