More X mysteries

[Rusty]

I just installed the 2.2r3 (potato) version of Debian. I
included the X system with the install, and I can do a startx
and have the GUI interface start up. If I add one of the window
mgrs. to the command line, I get that interface. I also added an
apt source to my /etc/apt/sources.list file to get the newest
version of KDE. (apt-get install task-kde) All appeared to
download fine, but I can't seem to get KDE to start. I've tried
startx kde, etc, but nothing works. I've tried to start gnome as
well, and when I do an exec gnome-session, I get the message
"Gtk WARNING **cannont open display". I try to do a kdeinit, and
the message is "$DISPLAY not set". I try to set the display to
0:0, and then export it, and that's not a valid value. Plus, it
still won't allow me to start KDE. I'm not a script writer, so I
have difficulty even reading ones that are loaded, although I've
tried! I'd like to be able to get into the desktop mgrs. I've
installed. kdm and gdm both return "unknown commandderrors.

Anyone got any ideas?
