dcop will only work properly in the same session as the kdeinit that launched it. So, if you start konsole from KDE and run dcop it will work. The ssh session is not attached to kdeinit in any way so won't contact the dcop server. I've never had to do what you want to accomplish so I don't have a definitive answer. I'd read the docs for dcop and see if there's an answer there. Alternatively (thinking out the box here), maybe try launch screen from a kde session and attach it to an ssh session... alan -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
