Hi, TL;DR (The Management Summary) : I installed an old version (dated 2016) of (all of) Cygwin where KDE does give me the 'full desktop' experience (single MS-Windows window). Is there a desire for follow up (and more details), in the sense that current Cygwin might be made to work as well ? -

Hi, Thanks for the effort. Now that you mentioned that, I seem to be having similar behavior as you: Xfce start every time I try it. But now that I tried it some more, LXDE is not consistent for me either. Sometimes I get a black screen, sometimes a black screen and the right-click-on-background

Hi, When I run XLaunch and choose single window (or use the KDE 'Plasma' shortcut), I get a black window (or grey, when also supplying '-retro'), but I am not getting a desktop like when I do when I run KDE on Linux (KDE taskbar/menu, pop-up menu with right-click on background, etc.). Is there a

Hi everyone, I am trying to get the KDE plasma desktop running. I've installed xorg-server and plasma-desktop and can get simple gui apps running (e.g. gvim).  When I try to run the plasma desktop (from "Plasma" icon installed in the windows start menu), the KDE logo appears against a black bla
