I apoligize for the length in advance.

I've been reading about other peoples similar problems and tried most
fixes. I'm running slackware 8 and have got these same errors when I
installed the packages and compiled it myself. I never had kde before now,
so there's no chance of any conflict with older packages either.

I've set QTDIR and KDEDIR apropriately and I get a gray screen, then I'm
kicked back to the console, this is startx's output:
