I've seen this problem with KDE under Mandrake 8.1 and 9.1 (i.e., several
versions of KDE). It would be really nice if KDE would delete or re-create
any files it needs during startup. Anyway, I've found that deleting several
KDE related files cures the problem.
I've put this into my startup script (viz., /etc/rc.d/rc.local):
# Remove KDE files that might cause hangup during KDE startup
rm -rf /tmp/{dcop*,kde*,ksocket*,mcop*}
USERS='er aoi'
for d in $USERS ; do
if [ -d /home/$d ] ; then
rm -rf /home/$d/{.DCOP*,.ICE*,.mcop*,.MCOP*}
fi
done
These seem to all be working files for KDE, and deleting them doesn't cause
your configuration to be changed, as deleting ~/.kde would.
