can't start KDE on FreeBSD from Windows XP

[Bruce Rhodewalt <bruce at rhodewalt dot com>]

I'm having trouble configuring KDE on my Windows XP machine (using
Cygwin/X 2004/03/25).

From my bash shell, I can ssh or telnet to my FreeBSD 5.2.1 RELEASE
machine.  However, if I try to connect and run KDE, I have problems.

I get a KDE desktop, followed by the splash with all its startups
proceeding uneventfully, and then just the blank desktop.  The Windows
window title reads "Cygwin/X - 0:0" and I can move the pointer over the
window.  No other responses happen in the window: no right-click,
left-click, drag-select, etc.  No icons appear in the window.

When I run KDE on the FreeBSD machine itself, I get a desktop with icons
and response to mouse actions.

Thanks for any guidance, including terminology and troubleshooting
techniques.
