kde-cygwin starting problems, dying in services initialization

[Ralf Habacker]

1. Somebody have got success with reinstalling KDE.
2. try
$ mount
c:\Programme\cygwin\bin on /usr/bin type system (binmode)
c:\Programme\cygwin\lib on /usr/lib type system (binmode)
c:\Programme\KDE3.1 on /opt/kde3 type system (binmode)
c:\Programme\cygwin on / type system (binmode)

you should see a mount from your kde installation dir to /opt/kde3.
If not, see the section "cygwin mount table support" in the README.TXT.
