Bug#408941: artsd fails to start if you call it from command line using fvwm2 as window manager

[Thomas Glanzmann <sithglan@stud.uni-erlangen.de>]

Package: arts
Version: 1.5.5-1
Severity: serious

Hello,
I used arts a lot on debian woody in the following way:

window 1:
        artsd

window 2:
        artsdsp -m /path/to/first/application/with/oss_interface

window 3:
        artsdsp -m /path/to/second/application/with/oss_interface

Since the update to etch artsd doesn't work anylonger in this way. When
I try to start artsd in my environment which doesn't uses kde it fails
in the following way:

        (faui00w) [~] artsd
        Creating link /home/cip/adm/sithglan/.kde/socket-faui00w.
        can't create mcop directory
        (faui00w) [~] ls -al /home/cip/adm/sithglan/.kde/socket-faui00w
        ls: /home/cip/adm/sithglan/.kde/socket-faui00w: No such file or directory
        (faui00w) [~] ls -al ~/.kde/
        total 30
        drwx------   2 sithglan icipguru   512 Oct  3 18:20 ./
        drwxr-xr-x 197 sithglan immdstud 29184 Jan 29 14:38 ../

What do I have to do to get it back working?

        Thomas
