 Probably because both 'dcopserver' and 'dcop' exit with "Aborting. $DISPLAY 
is not set." . kdelibs/dcop/dcopclient.cpp: dcopServerFile() is the place. 
Display is part of filename in ~/.DCOPserver* for some reason (I don't quite 
get it ... how can one user run two dcopservers at the same time?).
