I understand your frustrations. I had the same problem before. Deleting temporary files did not help me at all. I couldn't find the answer that suited me either. So this is how I solved: 1. Downgrade your XFree86 to the one that comes with SuSE CDs. (Don't forget to uninstall every packgage relating with XFree first. Use YaST1 to do this) 2. OR upgrade your XFree86 to 4.2.0 the latest build. It came out about Mar 2002 (I guess, couldn't remember). If you are using 4.2.0 now, make sure it is the same one that you can find in SuSE ftp site today!!!. Check if RPM packages are the same name!!!. I hope you enjoy using KDE3 as I do.

And.... Yes, as so many others, dcopserver is refusing to let me start kde3 Before (7.3 with kde 2) all was fine.
I tried everything i saw in the archives of this newsgroup. Nothing helps.
So, i have to work with Gnome (works like a charm) or Windowmaker (also ok) or so..
Now, i dont know if any developres of KDE are reading into this newsgroup (they should ;-)), but i think it's obvious that the system with the dcopserver stinks!
There's no real doc, nobody understands really what to do, no help - nothing.
A bit difficult in that situation to stay with an otherwise great piece of software. Well, i'l wait an other week or so to see if someone has an idea (i don't anymore), and if not i'll switch over.
