Hi,
casually I got your mail,
I hope to be useful for you.
Just now I got the same problem and
perhaps I have the solution (pheraps), try it !
IT SEEMS A PERMISSION PROBLEM
YOU SHOULD CHANGE THE PERMISSIONS FOR THE DIRECTORY
/tmp/.ICE-unix
chmod 777 /tmp/.ICE-unix
What does appens ?
When You login into the KDE as a normal user,
the dcopserver create a file into your home
directory
called
lrwxrwxrwx 1
root
other 46 mar 25 17:09
.DCOPserver_sun03 ->
/usr/johndoe/.DCOPserver_sun03_192.168.88.88:0
-rw-r--r-- 1
johndoe user 52 mar
25 17:24 .DCOPserver_sun03_192.168.88.88:0
this file contains a reference to the directory in
a form like this:
local/sun03:/tmp/.ICE-unix/dcop1348-1048616687
1348
OK, now seems that your process can't write to
/tmp/.ICE-unix
so dcopserver appears don't start.
Sincerely,
Ottavio Profeta.
P.S.
If you succeed make me
know.

I just discovered....
DCOP is KDE's Desktop Communications Protocol. It is a lightweight IPC/RPC
mechanism built on top of the X Consortium's Inter Client Exchange
protocol.
It enables desktop applications to communicate reliably with low overhead.

But again, How should I rectify it ?
