[gentoo-user] OT: E17 and .ICEauthority

2007-08-29 Thread Ernie Schroder
I have installed E17 and it's very cool, especially with composite. I am 
running into a problem though. When running KDE apps, from time to time, I 
have to remove ~/.ICEauthority to get them to start. Is this something I'll 
have to live with? Or, is there a fix?

Which apps do this, and are there any errors printed?

I too run e17 and often find konqueror and kontact just hang there and 
do nothing. Lately kopete is doing the same. So far I haven't found an 
actual reason for this and have been resorting to the drastic step 
of 'killall dcopserver' to fix it.

I found that composite being enabled in Xorg was the cause of Xine 
hanging for me, much like you describe.

I removed it and now Xine works great.

kmail is the most common offender but kedit has done it too, I believe.

This was happening even before I added composite, though perhaps more 
frequently now

Did you recompile as well?
I removed, or emerge -C the xcompmgr and then recompiled Xine, and I 
think I also recompiled Xorg as well.
