Well, you see many of the "local" sockets for KDE have to be, well, local. For me, if you must usee sshfs for remote homedirs... I'd re-direct all "user only" scokets to /tmp or /var/tmp It is all in the config. I've never really forced KDE to use /tmp for things such as the DCOP, ksocket or kdeinit stuffs... but I am sure it is all in the "global" configs of the machine people are using at home. In other words, "/home/dave/kde-tmp/ksocket-dave/kdeinit__1" needs to be local. So rather than put it $HOMEDIR/kde-temp/ksocket-dave/blahhh I'd force it to be in /tmp/ksocket-dave/blah. Them perms will come out rght and it should work just right. In effect KDE is trying to use a "remote socket" as a local one. That is the bind error. -- greg, greg@gregfolkert.net PGP key: 1024D/B524687C 2003-08-05 Fingerprint: E1D3 E3D7 5850 957E FED0 2B3A ED66 6971 B524 687C Alternate Fingerprint: 09F9 1102 9D74 E35B D841 56C5 6356 88C0
