Can't start KDE? Can't run dcopserver?--help!!

Beginner

While the RH9.0 KDE Splash Screen is flashing the, "Setting up interprocess communication" icon, an error appear:
Could not read network connection list.
/root/.DCOPserver_xl_0
Please check that the "dcopserver" program is running!

Removing /tmp/.ICE_unix directory and the ~/.DCOPserver* did not work for me.

Please--help me!
Thanks for any help,

first of all i think that you try to start kde as root which is not a good idea. does the same problem occurs when you start it as a normal user?

However many ways there may be of being alife, it is certain that there are vastly more ways of being dead.

Just a very quick question, did this happen after upgrading your kde installation ?

:?

The reason I asked is because if it was after the upgrade, What may have happened is that you overwrote the default path rather then appending to it.

When a user login, DCOPserver is run which then runs `iceauth' using the user's PATH. The path to `iceauth' is /usr/X11R6/bin, which may not be in the user's PATH statement, hence the DCOPserver error. Try to correct your PATH statement, it may fix the DCOPserver issue.

GOOD LUCK

Could you explain how do I fix the PATH ?

I am having similar problems as discussed here: http://www.mandrakeusers.org/viewtopic.php?t=8521

Any help appreciated.
