KIn order to run the KDE desktop, make sure you are following the installation instructions on cygwinports.org, and install the following packages and their dependencies: kdebase-startkde xinit xorg-server Your $HOME/.xinitrc should be only "startkde". Then run "startx" from your Cygwin terminal and you should be up and running. If you wish to run a KDE (or GNOME or XFCE) app in multiwindow mode, then you'll need to ensure a D-Bus session bus is running first. Your $HOME/.startxwinrc should look like this: eval `dbus-launch --exit-with-session --sh-syntax` # for KDE apps kdeinit4 & # or for GNOME apps gnome-settings-daemon & # any other apps you want to run upon launching the X server... Then start the X server with the "XWin Server" shortcut in your Windows Start menu.
