I will try that as soon as everything is recompiled. Although I'm not sure that it is a permission related issue. The X Server certainly starts, Motif and GTK applications seem to run without problems, so I'm inclined to think that it's more KDE ( or DCOP ) specific than this. Of course having said that I know relatively little about how xauth and .Xauthority work, never paid them any notice in fact until just now, and perhaps even less about how KDE applications connect to a display or communicate with each other ( which, I'm guessing is what DCOP manages, interprocess communication and that sort of thing... ). But thank you for the friendly advice and I'll let you know if it was the problem as soon as I have a chance to test it.I had similar problems with kdebase and apple's X11. Compiling the version of kdebase3 in Fink 0.5a Stable worked but the resulting binaries failed to connect to the X Server, with the error that the authentication protocols could not be negotiated ( all protocols were refused ), this prevented DCOP from starting, and thence any KDE application which relied on it ( which is all of them as far as I'm aware ).Try removing ~/.Xauthority

I'm afraid that I don't have a copy of the error message any more, I've
subsequently enabled the unstable tree, run fink selfupdate-cvs and am
in the process of building a new version ( of pretty much everything ).
If this works I'll let you know.
