I have a few questions after the first starting of KDE2 from my Linux machine 
using XFree86:

1. currently XFree86 seems to use an US keyboard although I have a German 
one. How/where to change this?

2. I see a title bar "Cygwin/XFree86" and some white borders to the right and 
bottom of my screen although I started XWin with 1600x1200 which is my 
WIndows resolution. How do I get full screen?
This results in some graphics errors, too.

3. are there some possibilities to do some tuning? switching desktops in KDE 
is significantly slower with XFree86 than with the commercial Exceed.

4. is there somewhere a X display chooser? I tried the XWin "-broadcast" 
option but only got the standard display from my Linux machine and not the 
list of available machines with XDMs.
