 <p>
+KDE uses two important files as part of its desktop communication protocol (DCOP)
+that are located outside the KDE directory trees.
+
+These are:
+<ul>
+<li><b>$HOME/.ICEauthority</b> - This file contains access tokens for DCOP. Applications 
+must be able to provide an appropriate access token in order to communicate via DCOP and
+the dcopserver to other applications. When the dcopserver is started it will generate a new
+access token and stores it in this file. The $ICEAUTHORITY environment variable can be used 
+to specify another file to be used instead. </li>
+
+<li><b>$HOME/.DCOPserver_$HOSTNAME_$DISPLAY</b> - This file specifies how to access the
+dcopserver for a given host and a given X display. Since KDE 3.1.4 the $DCOPAUTHORITY
+environment variable can be used to specify another file to be used instead. Note that each
+concurrent KDE session must have its own unique file.</li>
+</ul>
