Thanks for your kind help. The problem is now solved.
The solution is described here:
http://docs.kde.org/development/en/kdebase/kdm/quickstart.html
<snip>
1.
Create or open the file ~/.xinitrc
If you already have a working ~/.xinitrc, go to the next step
2.
If one does not already exist, add a line to the ~/.xinitrc to start
your preferred window manager or desktop environment.
For KDE you should enter:
startkde
For other window managers or desktop environments, you should look in
their documentation for the correct command.
3.
Make a link as follows:
ln -s ~/.xinitrc ~/.xsession
