"DCOPserver" not running"

[Pumalite]

I found this morning, the following messages:
"There was an error setting up inter-process communication for KDE. The message returned by the system was: [Couldn't open network socket. Please check that dcopserver program is running.]". I did some checking in the forum. Lots of similar problems, but no real solutions. This is the output of "top":

I'm running Suse 10.2 with Gnome. Any ideas?. Your help much appreciated. My computer is somewhat slower than before.

This is another output if it helps:

I took a look at my "defaults.list and it looked ok. I think the key to this problem is to edit the file .ICEauthority

If someone can detect something I can correct, please tell me. Thanks a lot. I couldn't find .ICEauthority in /home/macho. Can someone help me with that?. I think the key is to grant permission to the file .ICEauthority and to edit DefaultsPlugins; where it says Type=Link, to change it to Type="Application" or "Service". The problem is that I cannot find the file. I checked defaults.list, but didn't have "Type, etc", so I think I'm looking at the wrong file. Can someone help with this?. Thanks.

linux-wwtz:~ # chmod 777 /.ICEauthority
chmod: cannot access `/.ICEauthority': No such file or directory

Any help?

I found Default Plugins, but no defaultpluins.desktop.



Anybody?

The solution to this problem is the following: ( thanks to a guy in another forum); find the file /root/.DCOPserver_linux-wwtz_0, erase it and reboot. Problem solved!

I am facing similar Problem but there is no such file as /root/.DCOPserver_linux-wwtz_0

I too find the Problem stated in many places but no solution.

I am using Ubuntu.

Any hint???
