Hello, same Prob at my Place, after the Upgrade from KDE 3.3.2 to 3.4 on my SuSE 9.1 "startx" from inside a Konsole starts fvwm ...
About your problem: the startx script starts the window manager defined by the environment variable $WINDOWMANAGER. If at the command prompt you run
echo $WINDOWMANAGER
you will see what it's set to.
fvwm is what the system defaults to if it can't find the program set by $WINDOWMANAGER (well, it's the second choice, if it can't find kde) as you can see in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xinit/xinitrc
I believe your problem is caused by a name change (or packaging problem). WINDOWMANAGER is set to 'kde' while the new kde doesn't provide the 'kde' link.
I think you can probably solve your problem by running the command
ln -s /opt/kde3/bin/startkde /usr/X11R6/bin/kde
Works for me ... Thanks Michael
You can change the system default window manager (and therefore the default value of the $WINDOWMANAGER variable) by editing the script /etc/sysconfig/windowmanager
