Re: DCOPserver & user



I was having this problem a while back, and it turned out to be a permissions
issue.  Basically, root is under /root but users are under /home/xxxx for me. 
Because something in KDE couldn't go in and write files and change their
permissions, I was getting this error.  I figured it out by chance, but this is
pretty much undocumented on the web.
