Hi;

   Now, if it isn't asking too much, I'd like to use KDE as my Window
Manager and I'd like some KDE-based utilities, like konsole and karm
(? the task/time manager).

   I don't see a great deal of visible difference between twm and
openbox, but I'll look on openbox.org and find more details.

The Windoze start shortcut did help, and the ~/.xinitrc did help -- thank you.

Thanks,
Ken Wolcott

i've not checked to see if KDE or any of it's components is/are available as part of the cygwin X stuff (when I use a heavyweight desktop environment i use gnome). a quick search on KDE at the package search page of cygwin lists nothing, while a search on gnome lists quite a few. someone with more knowledge will have to advise you
