How do I start WM?

Hi Holger;

  I do not have a ~/.xinitrc in either /home/kwolcott

  I was able to start twm using startx without any problem, but I
would like have KDE (yes I know it is much more heavy than twm)
  I would like to use some KDE-based utilites (konsole and that time
manager I keep forgetting the name of);

Yes.

I thought I had *everything* that comes with Cygwin 1.7 -- how do I prove that?

Thanks,
