Some initial problems

Hi all,
 
I'm an avid KDE user under Linux at home, but I'm forced to use Windows
at work.  I was very happy to find that KDE under Cygwin is available!
I have it up and running, but I have a few issues I was hoping to get
some help with:

- things that require root access are problematic:
sh-3.2$ kdesu
kdesu: ERROR: User root does not exist

- Starting up programs from the K menu is very slow.  I see in
TaskManager that kdeinit runs full-bore for many seconds before the
program appears

- Sound does not work.  When I run "startkde" I see this in the output:
Could not find 'artswrapper' executable.  Do I need to run esd in
Windows to get sound?

- Only a few styles are available, and I see this in the startup
messages:
Conflict in /usr/lib/kde3/plugins/styles/light.dll:
  Plugin uses incompatible Qt library (3.3.6)!
Conflict in /usr/lib/kde3/plugins/styles/highcolor.dll:
  Plugin uses incompatible Qt library (3.3.6)!
Conflict in /usr/lib/kde3/plugins/styles/highcontrast.dll:
  Plugin uses incompatible Qt library (3.3.6)!
Conflict in /usr/lib/kde3/plugins/styles/keramik.dll:
  Plugin uses incompatible Qt library (3.3.6)!
Conflict in /usr/lib/kde3/plugins/styles/kthemestyle.dll:
  Plugin uses incompatible Qt library (3.3.6)!
Conflict in /usr/lib/kde3/plugins/styles/scheck.dll:
  Plugin uses incompatible Qt library (3.3.6)!
Conflict in /usr/lib/kde3/plugins/styles/plastik.dll:
  Plugin uses incompatible Qt library (3.3.6)!

- The only way to access the KDE Settings is via expanding menus from
the K menu.  I don't see a Control Panel-type application that stays
open and contains all of the settings icons.

Any help with these issues would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks in
advance!
