If you don't need sound you can consider disabling aRts -- the MCOP stuff
is not part of KDE proper and only of the aRts sound server. KDE 4 will no
longer use aRts anyway, but in the mean time there ought to be another
solution. aRts is fragile though, and I don't envy the poor sod who dives
in it to try to fix it...
