font-family:Arial'>I’m having installation problems with CygWin KDE 3.4
under Windows XP. I followed the manual installation instructions for QT
3.2.3 and KDE 3.4.1 but kdeinit is failing to start the desktop. I
created $HOME/.xinitrc with a single line entry of ‘startkde’ and
ran ‘startx’ from the CygWin command line. The KDE splash
displays and gets as far as “Initializing system services” but then
it disappears and leaves a blank screen with no mouse curser or menu options.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>I had been running KDE 3.1.4 without issues for about 6 months
but recently started seeing a problem with Konsole not starting automatically
upon login. If I manually opened a Konsole shell, it would trigger
launching the saved desktop configuration of Konsole (which should have
launched automatically upon login). In an attempt to resolve this issue,
I tried upgrading CygWin via setup from the Internet. When I was
unsuccessful in resolving the issue with a CygWin upgrade, I decided to try
installing KDE 3.4.1 manually.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

you advise me to downgrade to KDE 3.1.4? Any pointers you can provide for
troubleshooting would be greatly appreciated.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
