Not a big issue, but annoying

Every time I boot my computer I have to source /etc/profile.d/kde.sh to manage to run the command "startkde"

source /etc/profile does not work, so i have to source /etc/profile.d/kde.sh

I have a freind with the same problem, it occured after a reinstall of Arch recently.

you'll probably want to create ~/.xinitrc if it doesn't exist and put this line in it:

exec startkde

now you can start kde with this instead:

startx

damn you bgc1954! that's twice in about 3 minutes you've beaten me to the post by 30 seconds

I already did that, thats not the problem at all.

The problem is that when i run startx i get command not found "startkde" but if I source kde.sh everything works.

if you know what i mean?

That link from bgc1954 looks promising.

Are you using kdemod? Look here for explanation about kde.sh permissions:
