Done it :o)

Have a look at

Here are some tips for setting up kde on windows

download the latest xserver test series (test 75) into /usr/X11R6/bin
bunzip the file
this will give you XWin-Test75.exe
symlink /usr/X11R6/bin/X to the above
add the following to your .xinitrc 'startkde'
add the following to your .xserverrc 'X -rootless'
enter startx and your away

You will notice that kde takes over your desktop, but as you can see by my
screeenshot ive got rid of that:
Its a bit of a hack and im sure there is a better way but just rename
kdesktop.exe and kdesktop.dll to
stop the desktop loading.

Oh, and set your windows taskbar to autohide

> which version of xfree86 r u using and where did you get it?

The latest one from the Cygwin/XFree site [1].

> Are there any docs online for setting it up?

There's documentation [2] - that's where I found out about the fullscreen
mode [3]. I discovered the -rootless argument on the front page though.

They have added multiple windows (mixing Windows and X Windows like Apple's
X11 client [4]) capability into the developer version - there's a
screenshot
here [5] and here [6].
