If I do ps -ax etc...  I get:
 1185  ??  S  0:00.03 kdeinit: kdeinit: klauncher --new-startup (kdeinit)
 1187  ??  S  0:00.28 kdeinit: kdeinit: kded --new-startup (kdeinit)

 1131  v0  I  0:00.01 /bin/sh /usr/local/bin/startkde

I think that 1206 is the right daemon and is correctly running. Correct?


Looks like the right daemon.  I wonder if your config files are trying to 
start it twice.

I supposed the problem was there! I'll look at -listen_tcp and at hosts.allow.
I have doubts about setting hosts. X used to give me errors about not being 
able to connect (but still worked!). Then I tried to set up hosts correctly and 
now here's the new "problem".
I've read "man hosts", read the handbook and googled around but it's not very 
clear what I should write in this file.
My hostname is lucy. It's a laptot that eventually connects to the nearest 
available network. So it isn't part of a domain or something like that.
In the end I set up the concerned hosts lines to:
::1 localhost localhost.my.domain lucy
127.0.0.1 localhost localhost.my.domain lucy
 
Is it correct?
Why should I leave localhost.my.domain ?

No, I didn't remove anything! But I copied just 3 warnings. There were 130 of 
them related not only to archive files handling but almost to everything.

I'll try that later!

Either with the kde "launch program", either launching the file in a xterm, 
either when firefox opens a new popupAnd I think those are pretty much all 
the possible ways I explored!

Done that!
Here-s the first error(s):

DCOPClient::attachInternal. Attach failed Could not open network socket
DCOPClient::attachInternal. Attach failed Could not open network socket
Warning: kbuildsycoca is unable to register with DCOP.

Is it something wrong in /etc/hosts??


It could be your /etc/hosts or /etc/hosts.allow or you may need to add:
 -listen_tcp

to your startx commandline.



Then I get lots of line(130!) like :

kbuildsycoca: WARNING: '/usr/local/share/applications/kde/ark.desktop' 
specifies undefined mimetype/servicetype 'application/x-tbz2'
kbuildsycoca: WARNING: '/usr/local/share/applications/kde/ark.desktop'

kbuildsycoca: WARNING:

These messages are errors telling you the window manager cannot manage 
these mimetypes.  Did you remove any ports for handling these types of 
archive files?




Then finally:

DCOP Cleaning up dead connections.
Launched ok, pid = 1283
ICE default IO error handler doing an exit(), pid = 1222, errno = 0
There are already artsd objects registered, looking if they are active...

Error: Can't add object reference (probably artsd is already running).
   If you are sure it is not already running, remove the relevant files:

   /tmp/ksocket-Luca/Arts_SoundServer
   /tmp/ksocket-Luca/Arts_SimpleSoundServer
   /tmp/ksocket-Luca/Arts_PlayObjectFactory
   /tmp/ksocket-Luca/Arts_AudioManager


This error refers to the artsd daemon already running, or the system thinks 
this daemon is running.  You should open a terminal window and do:

ps -ax|grep -i art

and see if the artsd daemon is running or not.  If it is not, you may need 
to force it to start.





Then, every time I launch a program that open a new window I get:

X Error: BadWindow (invalid Window parameter) 3
  Major opcode:  19
  Minor opcode:  0
  Resource id:  0x66



When you say "every time you launch a program"  how exactly are you trying 
to launch a program?


The error is complaining about passing a bad parameter, so if you are 
launching the program just through your window manager, you must have a bad 
configuration file.

You should run startx and redirect the output to a file and check the 
errors and then try to fix them.  To do this try:


startx >/tmp/somexerrorlogfile 2>&1

You can grab most of the errors by redirecting both standard `output'
and standard `error' to a file, i.e.:

bash$ startx 2>&1 | tee logfile

Then, after you exit X11, keep a copy of `logfile' around, and see if
you can make more sense of the errors :)
