requests for info or help as been greeted by silence. I've spent over a

Fine. Have fun.
Or... perhaps the silence is because no one has experienced the same
problem you're describing, and many are loathe to jump in with nothing
to say. Me, no fear <grin>.
I'm not looking for someone with the same problem, I realise this is
probably a unique problem. I am looking for someone who can tell me a
bit about DCOP, there are no man pages or any other info on my system
that I can find. Where should it be started, what program or script is
responsible for starting it and why it should stop working?
Occasionally I have had problems tracking KDE, and have had to try to
fix it using some of the methods you're describing (removing all user
.kde and .kderc stuff, etc, etc.) Let me tell you that I am successfully
running KDE 2.2.2 on my workstation and laptop NOW. So it does work. Why
yours doesn't???
I don't doubt that it works, I know that, I jsut want to know why it
should stop working on my system.
I presume you're running Sid? or is it Woody, with KDE packages from
Sid? I haven't seen that you said.
I my original mail last week I explained I was running Woody with KDE
installed from Sid. This very list assisted me in getting the
preferences file working so I could do this.
This is one of the "problems" with these extensive desktop enviroments -
they get deeply entangled in the system - a borked package is hard to
root out. Have you considered backing up your data, and installing
fresh. I know, that's a redmondian solution, but you are running
unstable packages, so ... ?
I also detailed, to the best of my recolection the steps I had been
following prior to my breakage. The culprit 'seemed' to be installing
kde-devel, but I can not be sure. I've had that many versions of KDE on
this system that a dpkg -l give pages of info about every version of KDE
I've had. I did ask at one stage for a list of proper version numbers
for the various libs that KDE depend on, as I'm sure it is a lib problem.
best of luck,
.brian
At least I got some reply this time.
Cheers,
