You are correct in that. However, not having used cygwin much, I had no  
clue that that script even existed. I had followed the HOWTo that had me  
build a new shell script to run KDE.  Thanks for the tip.  And yeah for  
the most part all I want is a remote desktop, but I'd just like to learn  
how to do it this way, mostly for the fun of it.
