David, you make a very good point! I really do not believe in rebooting Linux machines all the time, but when a person updates so many packages, such as all of kde at one time, a power down and back up may be a good idea. The dcop server, which is used by kbuildsycoca is network transparent thus uses tcp/ip ports. There is a fix in the kde 2.1 and 2.0.1 rpm's that fixes a problem with dcop. You may have found the issue for some people. Dcop may not restart until you power down and restart, I think it had a time-out delay or something. To late for me to test and besides I am 3000 miles away from my test machines. -Chris On Monday 05 February 2001 15:32, David Boles wrote: > On Sun, 4 Feb 2001 14:43:38 -0500, Christopher Molnar said: > > I had a similar problem with Kcontrol being empty.
