[expert] odd link generated during machine boot

[Bobby Welch]

Hello,
  I recently installed mandrake and I am quite happy with it, but I have 
one odd problem.  The following link is generated in my home directory 
when my machine is booted:

.DCOPserver_Athlon -> /home/bobby/.DCOPserver_Athlon_:0

now, the file it is pointing does not exist ... can anyone explain what 
is going on here and what would be the best way to fix this?

Thank you very much
