Version:            (using KDE 3.5.8)
Installed from:    FreeBSD Ports
Compiler:          GCC 4.2.1 
OS:                FreeBSD

I am currently running FreeBSD 7.0. I have ran kde desktop with no problems for about a month. This morning, it occurred that I can no longer start kde:

1) startkde is echoed into ~/.xinitrc, so #startx will provoke startkde automatically
2) After booting into FreeBSD, I have encountered the following error when I start kde:
[code]
Could not read network connection list.
/home/disappearedng/.DCOPserver_.lan__0
Please check that the "dcopserver program is running
[/code]
I have looked up google and have done the following
1) login as root, and startkde (still same error)
2) renamed ~/.kde to ~/.kde.bak so that when kde starts it builds a new config (still the same error)
3) chmod -R 777 ~/.kde
4) went to /tmp and deleted everything that has to do with my username and and anything that has to do with .ICE

I have even tried the following 
#dcopserver
to manually start dcopserver

this is what I geT
[code]

I have even tried
#dcopserver_shutdown
then
#dcopserver

The message remains the same.
