Lapo,
No, they cannot. Harold has made it quite clear that he will not turn the
MIT-SHM module since SysV IPC memory services are not an official part of
cygwin yet. Maybe once Conrad and I finish work on cygserver, then he
will turn it on. But until that point, we are forced to keep a seperate
version for KDE.
Cheers,
Nicholas
