Hi! In the /usr/bin/kde2 start script, there is a nice hack, which often helps when you e.g. suddenly don't see your desktop icons any more when starting KDE2 etc. rm -f $HOME/.DCOPserver But on my machine the hostname is appended to the file .DCOPserver so it looks like .DCOPserver_myhost. I don't think this is the case only on my local installation (latest woody) so I suggest to additionally put a rm -f $HOME/.DCOPserver_´hostname | cut -f1 -d.´ in there (maybe leave out that cut, 'hostname' often only gives the hostname part without the domain, but it shouldn't hurt in that case).
Greetings -- :wq!
