Yeah, but I guess it'd be easier to run KDE/Qt "natively" then via the Cygwin/XFree layers. At least it's another option though. The devil is always in the details, and it's those details that are gonna get discussed a lot in the next couple of days/weeks :-)

Oops, that should've been posted in reply to the 'kde/cygwin' post.

No it isn't. Cygwin is an excellent posix layer and because of kde is build basically on unix systems there are only minor changes like missing header and so one. The most problem currently is caused by limitations of the linker, which has to be solved for porting kde2. Additional the xfree-server has made no problem on porting.
On the http://kde-cygwin.sf.net discussion faq/discussion forum there are some topice relating for native porting kde/qt.
As summary 1) qt isn't a problem, if a developer with good windows api/gui knowledge does this task and 2) an emulation layer for the x dependent kde stuff will be created. On the above website there are links (ntxlib) showing an initial lib for that.
