Xwin.exe application failed to initialize errors with KDE

[Harold L Hunt II]

Reginald,

Follow Chris's suggestion about setting the flags on the files.

If that doesn't work, I once helped a user install KDE on 
Cygwin/XFree86.  I don't know why, but for some reason that user felt 
the need to copy about five random Cygwin and KDE dlls into 
\WINNT\SYSTEM32.  His system was giving roughly the same errors and 
failing to start Cygwin/XFree86.  I started poking around, found those 
DLLs, removed them, and everything worked fine.

Point being: try to remember if you copied any DLLs anywhere and delete 
those extra copies.  You did get the KDE package that replaces a few of 
the XFree86 DLLs with SHM-enabled versions, right?  That package is 
essential.
