KDE 3 on Cygwin

[Nitin Kasturi]

Hi,

I'm trying to install KDE after a long while and I've run into some 
problems.  I've got everything installed but when I run X by calling 
"startx &", a X window comes up -- the first time it went through the KDE 
setup wizard -- and then it goes through the first few icons on the splash 
screen.  But then it just stops and leaves with a blank blue screen.   I 
can't bring up any menus or windows or anything.

I looked at the FAQ and nothing in particular caught my eye.  I've already 
had to do the rebaseall -v thing (and I've rebooted since then).

I'm not on this list so if you could CC me with any responses, that would 
be great.    An avenue of approach would be a big help too.  I'm theorizing 
there might be something going on with the dcopserver. I tried running the 
suggesting startup debug commands from the FAQ and I didn't get the last 
three lines of the follow the _KDE_.. message.

The following is from the FAQ:
>_KDE_IceTransmkdir: Owner of /tmp/.ICE-unix should be set to root
>DCOP: register 'anonymous-xxxx' -> number of clients is now 1
>DCOPServer up and running.
>DCOP: unregister 'anonymous-xxx'


Also, looking at this location space I see all sorts of DCOP* files with 
the first soft linked to the last in the first column.
>[10:31:39]~% ls  ~/.DCOPserver_Polaris*
>/home/nitin/.DCOPserver_Polaris@    /home/nitin/.DCOPserver_Polaris_127.0.0.1
>/home/nitin/.DCOPserver_Polaris_ 
>/home/nitin/.DCOPserver_Polaris_127.0.0.1_0
>/home/nitin/.DCOPserver_Polaris_-0  /home/nitin/.DCOPserver_Polaris__0
>[10:31:56]~%


Here is a dump of the messages I saw from running startx. Thank you for 
your help!  Nitin
