Here you go (I think):
For everyone that mailed me requesting a copy of my magical startkde and .xinitrc files (there were ten or fifteen of you), I apologize for the delay.
Below is the (edited) text of a message that Aduanne Carter sent to me back in may, concerning the use of KDE and WindowMaker. I've edited it to be XFCE, but it works for most window mangers.

I run KDE and XFCE here is how: Edit /opt/kde/bin/startkde so end of file looks like:
# # now try to start the services # startifaudio kaudioserver startifaudio kwmsound
startifthere kfm -d startifthere kcontrol -init [ -z "$KDE_WM" ] && startifthere kbgndwm [ -z "$KDE_WM" ] && startifthere krootwm startifthere kpanel [ -z "$KDE_WM" ] && KDE_WM=kwm
# # finally start kwm; finish when it's ended # exec $KDE_WM
Then, edit $HOME/.xinitrc so the bottom looks like:
KDE_WM=xfwm; export KDE_WM WINDOW_MANAGER=xfwm; export WINDOW_MANAGER exec $WINDOWMANAGER
