What happens if you run dcopserver manually?
Hey! Not a victory but at least a change in behavior and maybe some
useful feedback.
Launching dcopserver from the command line like this:
bash$ dcopserver
yields
DCOP: register 'anonymous-877' -> number of clients is now 1
DCOP: unregister 'anonymous-877'
Sounds encouraging. I guess. Next, try running an app like kile or
kate:
bash$ kate&
... and get a torrent in the terminal:

But kate does run. It may be crippled -- I haven't checked it out
thoroughly -- but it does run.
klauncher doesn't like to be started manually, it's supposed to be
started by kdeinit. Starting kdeinit manually gives the now familiar.

:Hmm...at this point we probably ought to see what's in your .xinitrc.

I don't have an .xinitrc at the moment. There's the default xinitrc (I
haven't modified it) lurking in /usr/X11/lib/X11/xinit/xinitrc which
launches the xinitrc.d .
I do now have a .bashrc (I didn't always have one):
-----------
echo "Reading ~/.bashrc"
# Initialize FINK if needed
if [[ ! -x $(which fink) && -d /sw/bin ]];then
source /sw/bin/init.sh
fi
# Set the DISPLAY variable ONLY for OS X earlier than 10.5
# Do not set it for 10.5, or it will create problems.
if [[ -z $DISPLAY && $(sw_vers -productVersion) < 10.5 && -z
$SSH_CONNECTION ]]; then
# -- works for Apple X11 with Fast User Switching
disp_no=($( ps -awx | grep -F X11.app | awk '{print $NF}' | grep -e
":[0-9]" ))
if [[ -n $disp_no ]];then
export DISPLAY=${disp_no}.0
else
export DISPLAY=:0.0
fi
echo "DISPLAY has been set to $DISPLAY"
fi
# iTerm Tab and Title Customization and prompt customization
# Put the string " [bash] hostname::/full/directory/path"
# in the title bar using the command sequence
# \[\e]2;[bash] \h::\]$PWD\[\a\]
# Put the penultimate and current directory
# in the iterm tab
# \[\e]1;\]$(basename $(dirname $PWD))/\W\[\a\]
# Make a simple command-line prompt: bash-$
PS1=$'\[\e]2;[bash] \h::\]$PWD\[\a\]\[\e]1;\]$(basename "$(dirname
"$PWD")")/\W\[\a\]bash-\$ '
------------------------------
I also have a .profile: test -r /sw/bin/init.sh && . /sw/bin/init.sh .
In any case, I've always had the 'DCOPserver' problem; there has never
been a time when any application that relied on DCOP worked right,
regardless of whether I had an .xinitrc or what was in my .bashrc.
