I'm having trouble configuring KDE on my Windows XP machine (using Cygwin/X 2004/03/25).
From my bash shell, I can ssh or telnet to my FreeBSD 5.2.1 RELEASE machine. However, if I try to connect and run KDE, I have problems.
I get a KDE desktop, followed by the splash with all its startups proceeding uneventfully, and then just the blank desktop. The Windows window title reads "Cygwin/X - 0:0" and I can move the pointer over the window. No other responses happen in the window: no right-click, left-click, drag-select, etc. No icons appear in the window.
When I run KDE on the FreeBSD machine itself, I get a desktop with icons and response to mouse actions.
Thanks for any guidance, including terminology and troubleshooting techniques.
