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.
