Subject: Problems getting KDE to start...



Greetings,
 
I am encountering problems getting KDE to start with Cygwin.  I hope that
you might be able to help me.  Currently, I have Cygwin launching using the
startxwin.bat file.  Within this file, I use the simple scripts:
 
run XWin
run wmaker
 
I have opened a bash shell prompt and followed the installation
instructions, but they just do not work for me.  Thus, I guess I have a
series of questions:
 
1.) Obviously, I startup XWin in single window mode.  Is this incompatible
with KDE?
2.) I have run the instructions in each of the script files that you list in
your installation instructions (not at the same time, of course -- different
tries) one line at a time (taking into account that I am using single window
mode) from the command prompt.  The first script does not seem to accomplish
anything.  The second one turns the wallpaper within my running Cygwin
instance black, but has no other discernible effects.  Is there something
obvious that I am doing wrong here?
3.) Is there a way to start KDE directly from a windows batch file, like I
start Cygwin now?
 
Any help is greatly appreciated!
 
Kindest Regards,
