Well, unfortunately that didn't work. I get the same error. Although, I
noticed the ksocket- and kde- directories were recreated.
Any other ideas?

I also had this problem.
Do this...
check in your /tmp directory for three directories:
mcop-<username> ksocket-<username> kde-<username>
where username is your login id.
If those exist, move them to something like dirname.backup or whatever. Or just delete them. They get created when you start KDE2.
Then try starting KDE2.1.1
Apparently KDE2 leaves those directories in /tmp and doesn't clean them up. Once you move them or delete them, kde2.1.1 will automatically create new ones.
Write back if you have any questions...

Then I reboot hoping to load the new KDE but instead the GUI starts to load then I get dropped into a text logon prompt. If I type "startx" I get the following message box:
"error setting up inter-process communication for KDE. could not read network connection list. /root/.DCOPserver_[host name]_:0 check that dcopserver is running!"
If I go back to the text shell and try starting dcopserver by typing "dcopserver" it says "$DISPLAY not set". I have tried the bug database at kde.org but all I have found are people with the same problem who seem to fix it on their own and there are no solutions listed. Any other SuSe users have this problem? Thanks,
