Hi all, A strange annoyance: during KDE sessions (3.3.2, testing), I find that various KDE programs begin to load slower and slower, till they won't start at all. It usually begins with kwrite being unlaunchable from a root konqueror, then spreads to other programs and services, for example the print manager, until at last even konqueror will not start. It doesn't seem to affect non-KDE programs.
The initial error messages say "kdeinit could not launch [program]". At first restarting X fixes it; then not; eventually X will not restart, complaining about DCOPserver and/or ICEauthority; I must then either reboot or, if that doesn't fix it, log in to a console and remove ~.DCOPserver* and sometimes ~.ICEauthority as well. I have noticed that the permissions on these files are sometimes wrong. I have seen similar problems posted before, but have not found a permanent solution yet. Does anyone know what causes this and how to prevent it? Thanks, John O'Hagan P.S. Please CC me. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
