Typical troubleshooting for dcop involved shutting everything re: kde down, then blowing away everything kde related in /tmp, mv'ing .kde to .kdeback and recreating it to see if that helps (if not, just mv it right back), doing a dpkg --purge on the kdebase & kdelibs debs and reinstalling them, and, well, if none of that works, then a fill 'dpkg --list | grep -i kde > kdelist' and then doing a quick shell script to iterate through that and removed/purge everything and then using the same list to apt-get with. If *that* doesn't fix it, well then, you're screwed :-) But I'm pretty sure it'll start back up a few steps before that.....
