    LIST-ers,

    Thanks to a poster to this list, I checked rpmfind.net to look for the
    location of DCOPserver. It turns out I do have the right packages installed
    - versions of kdebase and kdelibs even newer than those listed on
    rpmfind.net - but still cannot start kde. I am getting these rpms directly
    from Suse's ftp site.

    Feel like I shouldn't have tried to update!

    As the window manager begins to start up, a dialog says:

    "Error setting up inter-process communication for KDE. Message is: Could
    not read network connection list /root/.DCOPserver_<hostname>_:0 please
    check that dcopserver is running!"

    Issuing 'dcopserver' at the shell results in a "Aborting. $DISPLAY not set"

    Hmm. What next? Don't remember offhand how to manually set the $DISPLAY
    variable. And the 'env' command does not show a DISPLAY variable.

    Lou
