I installed KDE according to



http://webdev.cegit.de/snapshots/kde-cygwin/kde/kde3.4/



and installation went smootly. However, KDE did not start up - kdeinit hung
without further information. After quite a while I figured out that the
problem was the missing *cygart_lgpl-2.dll* coming with *libart_lgpl2*.
Maybe this information could be updated as the above installation procedure
does advise to install *libart_lgpl. *That'll be very helpful.

Steffen
