I have tried using KDE 1.2, but found it rather sluggish under Cygwin/XFree.
I now use fvwm2, which is very robust and very fast. It is also extremely configurable, although you do this by editing a text file rather than through the GUI-style interface offered by GNOME/Enlightenment & KDE. As far as I remember, fvwm2 compiled from source with no problems under Cygwin/XFree. If you need a sample config file, I think that there are several available if you follow the 'Links' link from the fvwm home page ( http://www.fvwm.org/ ). James.
