Graham,
I have solved my problem. I tried removing all the /tmp/mcop-* direcotries and the ~/.mcop directories for each user (including root) but the problem persisted.
I then checked the installation of the various arts rpms (arts, arts-devel & arts-gmcop). They were all the new rpms which were installed with the other KDE 3.1 rpms.
Once I disabled the preview of Files for root, I found that solved the problem. Obviously, there is something going on but, what it is exactly, I haven't the slightest idea.
Well this is weird, if I start Kong from a terminal using sux - it works with the preview of Files. Now if I use File Manager su mode the thing falls over.
There is no error messages issued when using konqueror from the command line so I really don't know where the problem is.
Well I can duplicate the problem from the command line. If I use "sux" instead of "sux -" and run /opt/kde3/bin/konqueror it will crash if I have the preview mode for File turned on. The error message given is:- /tmp/mcop-graham is not owned by user So I suppect that when you use the File Manager Super User, kongueror is not using root's environmental variables. I have no idea how to alter this behaviour, so for now the preview mode stays off in the root KDE config. -- Regards, Graham Smith ---------------------------------------------------------
