I am just giving you a test to see if the problem is a .kde file in the users /home or if the problem is a system wide config error... if it is just one user, try deleting the .dcop server file in /home/user & login as that user, a new one should be built.

I then ended that session and signed back in as myself and at present everything is fine ~ that is 'dcop' is doing it's thing. Go figure ? -- Newbie Seeking USER_FUNCTIONALITY always!
