Surprisingly, neatx works fine with kde.
Problem was, session would start, but it was impossible to give input focus to
any window.
I'm delighted to hear neatx is working for you -) The difference
probably just comes down to the configuration in this case - neatx
uses '/etc/X11/Xsession startkde' to run kde (as can be seen from
neatx.conf), which could well be working around the pitfall the other
two are hitting.
