So I installed KDE 3.1.1a on a solaris machine that I don't have root access too. It took a bunch of work, but it works great now... If you log into it before someone else has a /tmp/.ICE-unix dir on the system. Something else (Xsun maybe) creates that dir 775 when a user first logs in. That keeps any other users from being able to log into kde (more specifically start dcopserver) because it tries to make sockets in that directory. I've read that is a known bug in solaris, and other people have written that they do things like set root cronjobs to maintain the permissions of that directory. Obviously I can't do that. So most likely, I am looking for either an environmental variable that puts the dcop sockets in another directory, or a relatively easy way to modify the source to pick another directory. -Eric Hattemer
