If this is the case then I would try renaming (rather than deleteing until you know it works) the "mcop" and "dcop" files and directories in your home directory My home directory is /home/dh3/ in my case the files and directories I'd rename (or backup and delete) are: /home/dh3/.mcop /home/dh3/.DCOPserver_localhost /home/dh3/.DCOPserver_localhost_:0 /home/dh3/.MCOP-random-seed file:/home/dh3/.mcoprc Then try logging in to kde again. If this doesn't work then I would try renaming the /home/your-home/.kde directories (/.kde, /.kde1, /.kde2, /.kde3). You will need to rebuild your preferences if this works as these directories are where the prefs are kept. good luck -- dh
