The dcopserver is supposed to be started by kde apps if it is not
already running.
The klauncher warning is probably unrelated to the bug, as it is
issued by kded when it can't run the cache update program with
klauncher. After this warning, it falls back to the system call for
starting the program, and this is probably not a problem.
