Yeah, but it requires CygIPC, doesn't it? BTW, has anybody tried to run kde-cygwin using the new cygwin-daemon to provide the IPC services? Currently, the cygwin daemon implements some subset of the three main IPC mechanisms (semaphores, messages. shared memory) -- but I don't remember if shm was part of that subset... Anyway, even if the cygwin-daemon DOES provide the necessary IPC features, you'd probably need to recompile kde-cygwin against it instead of CygIPC. --Chuck the cygwin-daemon code was recently merged into CVS; the snapshots have the functionality but the daemon itself is not "turned on" by default. Just like ipcdaemon.exe, you have to start up the cygwin-daemon yourself. For more info, see the cygwin-developers mailing list archives.
