startx to use KDE on FreeBSD

Q.
I have FreeBSD 5.1 installed, I know the startx command and am familiar with using it from Mandrak-Linux. However, when I use the startx command with FreeBSD it gives me an X-Window environment. What file do I have to configure to have KDE start by using the startx command and how do I configure it?

A.
The long and short of it is make sure you have KDE installed and then do

echo 'exec startkde' > ~/.xinitrc"
