xinit: connection to X server lost
This is your problem. It looks like the X server disconnects, probably because it terminates.
Only after your reply and a minimal Google did the significance of the message register in my brain, which is that no KDE session actually ever started. Turns out there are two general solutions, both found by booting the same system to 12.1, in which startx works, and looking for config differences. 12.1 had no ~/.dmrc, and also had DEFAULT_WM="startkde", while 11.4 had Session=kde-plasma in ~/.dmrc and DEFAULT_WM="kde4". In neither /etc/sysconfig/windowmanager in the comments above DEFAULT_WM is startkde suggested as a possibility. Removing ~/.dmrc or changing its content to Session=default makes startx work regardless whether DEFAULT_WM is set to startkde or kde4. So the problem actually resulted from kde-plasma as a session type, which probably got there as a consequence of this mailing list thread: http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-kde/2011-04/msg00124.html -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."
