I had problems with kicker since beta1 - every now and then it did not
start; after exiting KDE and restarting it with startx (I always use
startx) it was O.K.
After latest update kicker dies reproducably. The only case I was able to
start it was when I removed .kde directory. The next time I started KDE
kicker was lost again. (I write this using another Mandrake because our
DrakNet still does not support CHAP that I need so I cannot connect from
command line :-(
bor@localhost% rpm -q --root /mnt/hdb5 kdebase
kdebase-2.2-0.beta1.5mdk
.xsession-errors:
...

kio (KLauncher): kicker (pid 1609) up and running.

kicker: crashHandler called
ERROR: KUniqueApplication: DCOP communication error!
kdeinit: PID 1609 terminated.
It always dies after ExtensionManager line.
Any clue? What else can I do? It dies when I start it from out of KDE
session as well; I've tried strace it but nothing interesting (to me
anyway).
Open for any suggestion
