It sounds like you upgraded instead of made a new install.  It may be 
that a default msec setup is clobbering your dcop setup files

If that is the case, a fresh install is in order unless you want to 
follow some complicated instructions.  But before you try that...  

Open a terminal from BB

As user, not root

rm -r ~/.kde -f
rm -r ~/.gnome -f

logout

login on kde or gnome


Civileme
