Hello!
I am sorry to (maybe) destroy your enthusiasm but from my point of view
there are some more reasons for not running either gnome or kde on cygwin:
The main thing is: they are very large packages and even on my linux box
they are that slow, that I prefer just using icewm as window

Neither Gnome nor KDE on Cygwin are ready for newbies yet. They are very

either of them working.
I recommend that you just be happy with looking at KDE and Gnome on your
