I suggest to completly rename or remove old qt and kde installation, because 
qt-3.2.3-gcc3 and kde 3.1.4 are compiled with gcc3, the older releases with 
gcc2 which have an incompatible symbol naming scheme. Using *any* older 
library or dll will not work. 

1. download last qt, kdelibs and kdebase tar.bz2 archives 

2. remove old installation 
rm -r /opt   or mv /opt /opt1

rm -r /usr/local/lib/qt3  or mv /usr/local/lib/qt3 /usr/local/lib/qt3_1
tar -C / -xjf qt-3.2.3-3-gcc3.tar.bz2
tar -C / -xjf kdelibs-3.1.4-3-gcc3.tar.bz2
tar -C / -xjf kdebase-3.1.4-1-gcc3.tar.bz2

restart bash shell and call 

	startx -rootless & 

then kde should run.

Yes.

Yes, it is in work, so I can only give a very short description. 

1. Please download 
http://kde-cygwin.sf.net/snapshots/kde-cygwin-admin-patch-3.1.4.tar.bz2 and 
unpack in your package root dir. 
2. run make -f Makefile.cvs 
3. run 
/configure --prefix=/opt/kde3 \ 
    --disable-closure --disable-rpath \
    --with-qt-dir=/opt/qt3
make 
make install

This problem is fixed in 3.1.4. but your upgrade wasn't complete. 

Starting with kde 3.1.4 there will be tar.bz2 archives containing all 
necessary application, header and libs and as an alternative a setup.exe 
based installation, which isn't ready yet.

Please reports in case you have any problems.
