Whichever one I run. XWin.exe if I try to start X. vim.exe
if I try to start Vim (compiled for X), which first checks
to see if X is running. These were "known good" programs I
tried before trying to run KDE itself.

I had, although reinstalling the files didn't correct the
problem. Note that the problem involves the new X libs,
not KDE (unless there is some dependency that I don't know
about).

Just in case rebind did some extra magic that I didn't know
about, I deleted the directories and reinstalled only the
minimal set of tar files as indicated in the KDE2 manual
installation instructions web page. No change.

None at all.

In order to get some more data, I did a checkout of the
latest XFree86 (xc), defined UseCygIPC in host.def, and
rebuilt X with SHM support. I'm installing it now and
will let you know how it goes.

If that fails, then it must be a problem with CygIPC or
some flavor of the rebase issue.

Unfortunately, the rebase command seems to have changed
so I'm not sure how to use it anymore. What is the new
command to rebase all of the DLLs? (Or should I go ask
on the cygwin list?)
