There is also a kde-x-1.2 available.. I dunno if both can be useful at 
the same time... I am not KDE's cygwin's port author, just a simple user 
that got annoyed by that strange 'growing' behaviour to installed 
release numbers.
I thought ie were a setup.exe problem, but it wasn't... even if I would 
expect setup.exe to do a warning or ignore the version or the such 
instead of growing its version install by install... ^_^ that's why I'm 
investigating setup.exe's sources, to try to patch a better behaviour, 
even if setup.ini file has a wrong format.

 From what I see on http://kde-cygwin.sourceforge.net/ I think Ralf 
Habacker is the most active person in that workgroup, or at least the 
one that does most news in the homepage.

BTW: I filed a bug on KDE-Cygwin's bugtracker in this regard:
