While XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP and XDG_SESSION_DESKTOP support were added to TDM, seems the support was not added for launching TDE from the console with startx.
It launches through startx just fine, provided you have a correct .xinitrc that points to the starttde script. I've never had a DM on this machine, so I've been launching TDE in this way for the past five years.
