Your operating system should provide you with a root-owned /tmp/.ICE-unix btw complain to your admin or your vendor that they don't setup their system properly. The real problem is something else. > _KDE_IceTransSocketCreateListener: failed to bind listener > _KDE_IceTransSocketUNIXCreateListener: ...SocketCreateListener() failed > _KDE_IceTransMakeAllCOTSServerListeners: failed to create listener for > local Cannot establish any listening sockets > DCOPServer self-test failed. > > This is fine if you clear out /tmp on startup.

The dir was being made as the first user that ran so the next user that ran caused that error. (Side note gnome did create the dir also but the next user could log in fine. It did however create .ICE-unix with a different permissions) Sorry and cheers again. Pete |
