Hmm, this can't really matter, it's just a comment.

I'd try adding something like
	echo $PATH > /tmp/startkde.log
to verify if this file is being sourced. Or maybe even edit 
/usr/bin/startkde, activating bash debug output, putting all stuff between 
parantheses and redirecting output to another log file:

	#!/bin/sh
	#
	#  DEFAULT KDE STARTUP SCRIPT ( 4.6.00 (4.6.0) )
	#
	
	(
	set -xv # enable debugging
	[rest of script]
	) > /tmp/startkde.fulllog 2>&1


It might be better to only put the relevant part into parantheses. On my 
Gentoo system it's from line 199 to 214:

(
set -xv
libpath=`kde4-config --path lib | tr : '\n'`

for prefix in `echo "$libpath" | sed -n -e 's,/lib[^/]*/,/env/,p'`; do
  for file in "$prefix"*.sh; do
    test -r "$file" && . "$file"
  done
done
) > /tmp/startkde.fulllog 2>&1
