Can not start KDE 3.1

I'll answer my own question now that I've figured it out. The problem
was that root of my cygwin file system was not mounted in binary mode.
Since DCOP uses /tmp and /tmp was mounted in textmode (because it's
under the root mount), this apparently causes a problem. Recall from my
first message what my mount table was:
e:\cygwin\usr\X11R6\lib\X11\fonts on /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts type
system (binmode)
e:\cygwin\opt\kde3 on /opt/kde3 type system (binmode)
e:\cygwin\bin on /usr/bin type system (binmode)
e:\cygwin\lib on /usr/lib type system (binmode)
e:\cygwin on / type system (textmode)
Although most of cygwin was mounted in binary mode, root wasn't.
Remounting root in binary mode solved the problem.
