I think you'll be unlikely to get this to work with the current sources. I suggest you use Cygwin's Emacs. If you're "out of KDE," you could have an X server running rootless that allows Emacs to run and appear to be a regular Windows app (this is how I run it all the time and the context in which I'm composing this post currently). If you feel the need to run in KDE, you're still covered.
