kde-cygwin starting problems, dying in services initialization

[Ramesh Yerramaneni]

Hello,

I have installed kde3.1.1 on cygwin  (win2k professionsl). 
When I try to start kde window manager using startkde.bat 
command, kde starting process is failing in 'system services
initialization'. Here is the log.

--------------------------------------------------------------
after this, kde initialization process is hung up.

I 've checked kde mount parameters and related kdelib versions.
They seem to be correct.
I 've installed kdeinit using  setup-kde-3.1.1-b1.exe file.
Before installing this, I 've double checked to ensure that all the
required cygwin libraries are available.

Did not encounter any problems during kde installation. It seems
that all  the windows env. variables  also created properly.

I am not sure, what else to check. I tried rebooting the machine,
running startkde_small.bat and still getting the same problem( no
progress in system services initialization, getting a blue blank
screen).

I would apreciate if somebody help me to figure out this or point
me in right direction. Thanks in advance for your time and advice.

Thanks,
Ramesh
