Package:           dcopserver
Version:           KDE 2.9.2 
Severity:          normal
Installed from:    Compiled From Sources
Compiler:          gcc 2.95.3
OS:                Linux
OS/Compiler notes: Not Specified

KDE3 startup fails when trying to startup interprocess communications.

System runs SuSE 7.2 pro
kernel is 2.4.4-4GB
XFree86 version 4.2.0
gcc 2.95.3 20010315 (SuSE)

I've had the same fault with each of the follow sources of kde3
kde3-2.92-7 rpm downloaded from SuSE ftp
kde-3.0beta2 source from ftp.download.kde.org
kde 20020224 cvs snapshot

Each have given the same error messages in .xsession-errors I've also checked the
other system log files but nothing looks relevant to the problem - kdm.log only
shows xserver related messages nothing related to kde!

.xsession-errors contains the following :-

kdeinit: Launched DCOPServer pid = 12355 result = 0
QObject::connect: No such slot QObject::newClient(int)
QObject::connect:  (sender name:   'unnamed')
QObject::connect:  (receiver name: 'unnamed')
QObject::connect: No such slot QObject::slotTerminate()
QObject::connect:  (sender name:   'unnamed')

QObject::connect: No such slot QObject::slotCleanDeadConnections()
