The latest set of errors are below, I've been getting the cannot connect to X server error intermittently since I did an update about 2 weeks ago that pulled in some xserver stuff. However everything else seems to run fine (it will just not let me run XEmacs for example from the commandline as my user even when su'd to root, if I start KDE with startx after logging in as my user I don't get these errors, only if I start it from kdm) however KNode doesn't work as any user. _KDE_IceTransmkdir: Owner of /tmp/.ICE-unix should be set to root DCOPServer up and running. trying to create local folder: File exists trying to create local folder: File exists trying to create local folder: File exists Property 'Export' is defined multiple times (KOfficeFilterDialog) Property 'Import' is defined multiple times (KOfficeFilterDialog) Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server Xlib: Client is not authorized to connect to Server kded: cannot connect to X server :0.0 DCOP aborting call from 'anonymous-12733' to 'kded' ERROR: KUniqueApplication: DCOP communication error!
