 ksmserver also initiates launching all apps specified in 
$KDEDIRS/share/autostart , so you'll have disable those files (either remove 
the installed ones, or adding files containing

[Desktop Entry]
Hidden=true

 to $KDEHOME/share/autostart that will hide the global ones).

 You could try calling 'kdeinit' as the first KDE thing to start, and 
'kdeinit_shutdown' at the end of .xsession.

 But this shows that this is KDE-unrelated problem. The application is not 
authorized to connect to X server. You have e.g. to use 'startx' or start the 
session from KDM, you're probably starting X directly.
