For KDE, type:

$startx /usr/bin/startkde

For Gnome, type:

$startx /usr/bin/gnome-session

For a second session of X (gnome, for example), type:

$startx /usr/bin/gnome-session — :1

This works for me, if anyone knows a more elegant way, wellcome any comment.

NOTE: typing “$startx startkde” doesn’t work althought /usr/bin is in my PATH, dont’t know why.
