This would be my next (and last) chance, as I need to switch off something called "externel something" or so, but all other mixers I have tried so far do not handel this switch, except kmix. So that's probably my last chance to get my vinyl into this computer. And anyway: If it isn't possible to just run a kde app without beforehand starting a bunch of servers (I have read about some further, which might be needed), then I am really a bit "upset" of kde. As the -dopcserver switch is already standard to all kde apps, then shouldn't it be standard to have something like "-dcopserver none" to switch it off, for any unforseable situations like this one? cu, Thomas -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: Kevin Krammer [mailto:kevin.krammer@gmx.at] Gesendet: Donnerstag, 24.

DCOP handles it transport through the ICE library, which might be able to handle remote connections as well. However I guess DCOP registers a local connection, i.e. libICE creates a unix socket, very likely for security reasons.
