What happens when you run your cygipc-based build of X11, but do not have the ipc-daemon running? You can't run KDE, of course, but does the Xserver itself still work properly? Can non-KDE X apps work?

Well, that makes it easy. SHM will not be supported by this new build.

I am not sure. How "automagically" is the IPC daemon installed? If it requires user intervention, then we cannot really have XShm in the default install.
You could make it a setup.hint dependency, of course, but that's only half the battle. The next step would be to get the cygipc daemon started. I don't think you want to go through that pain unless there is a clean fallback for when cygipc isn't working right.
