1. KDE applications does *NOT* support spaces in pathes. May be you can try the
short form to avoid this. Under w2k dir /x shows the short names.

2. Which os are you using ? I have heard that Win ME works different in this
case.

3. Add a line with a single 'set' command to startkde.bat before the dcopserver
will started. Then you can see all environment variables. This may help.

May be the openSSH server runs with the main cygwin1.dll  or there is an update
of the OpenSSH server ?

I have thought about this already, but this may cause additional cygwin1.dll
clashes, which has to be solved.
Maybe this will happen in one of the next releases. Thanks for this hint.
