The result is I don't have any .xsession-errors any longer. Before I wrote this I reinstalled the old files, and the problem got back and later disappeared again with the new files. regards guran -- Mandrake Linux 8.1 beta Cooker kernel-2.4.8-26 vers:1.598

Come down man... take it easy, all we do is test and provide the programers with information so 'they' may correct the problem. And by pure coincidence found out that easy fix.

[Cooker] The case of total KDE death again
It was already reported today and it happened to me @home. I started KDE via startx, up came splash screen, the last thing displayed were these KDE gears, then splash screen went away and there was nothing more. In ps I could see seberal kdeinit's, the last two (father and child) waiting on read(5,...) and read(7,...) (from memory, sorry). There were noting useful in .xsession-errors just usual crap about DCOP server already running, not ELF etc. BTW it took some time. I typed startx and went to make tea.

RE: [Cooker] The case of total KDE death again
/usr/bin/startkde: 88 # Laurent kde2.2-30mdk scan-nsplugins 89 #if [ -x /usr/bin/nspluginscan ]; then 90 # /usr/bin/nspluginscan 91 #fi Hummm. kde2.2-30 is about when it started. I comment out these lines (as I've stated in several emails on this topic), and all works. This addition to startkde is obviously not correct, or at least in the wrong place. This is because nspluginscan starts dcopserver. It even says it is starting it right in .xsession-errors. Then kdeinit dies due to dcopserver already being started. Well, of course it's already started, nspluginscan said that it started it, right before kdeinit tried to. My guess is that on a really fast machine, dcopserver shuts down again before kdeinit tries to restart it. Otherwise it would happen to EVERYONE, because it happens EVERY TIME on my P2-233. No matter how many .DCOP*, .MCOP* and /tmp/blah files I delete.
