Fw: KDE 3.4.1 - Could not bind to socket '/tmp/ksocket-

[Ross MacGillivray]

 Jan de Visser was kind enought to answer (see below) my question (see even 
further below) about the following error in KDE on Cygwin.  Could not bind 
to socket '/tmp/ksocket-RossMacGillivray/kdeinit-127.0.0.1:0'

When I looked at the /tmp directory the actual name of the file is 
'/tmp/ksocket-RossMacGillivray/kdeinit-127.0.0.1_0'

The : has been replaced by an underscore due to, I think, Windows naming 
conventions.

How does Cygwin on KDE run with this kind of incompatibility between windows 
naming and unix/linux
naming conventions?
Can Cygwin open a native linux file system?
Is a linux file system partition necessary to run KDE on Cygwin?

I am still having problems getting KDE 3.4.1 on Cygwin to bind to the 
ksocket file (see below).

winInitMultiWindowWM - XOpenDisplay () returned and successfully opened the 
disp
lay.
bash-2.05b$ winMultiWindowXMsgProc - XOpenDisplay () returned and 
successfully o
pened the display.
Could not bind to socket '/tmp/ksocket-RossMacGillivray/kdeinit-127.0.0.1:0'
kdeinit: Launched DCOPServer, pid = 3528 result = 0
DCOP: register 'anonymous-3528' -> number of clients is now 1
DCOP: unregister 'anonymous-3528'

It was suggested to me that I remove any blanks for my userid and home 
directory and I have done this, but the problem
continues.

I am getting an X root window to launch, but no KDE desktop, window manager, 
applications.   This result
is probably not surprising given the error above, but how do I clear this 
error?

Does KDEINIT have verbose mode?
