I have had difficulties myself recently. I don't think it was dcopserver not 
starting, but dcopserver hanging on certain calls. I thought it was only a 
bad build (cvs from 2 days ago), but eventually I tried disabling fam in 
inetd's config, which allowed KDE to start (I am certain this was the cause, 
it was reproducable for me). There was also another problem I was having with 
dcop and konqueror getting stuck on http loads on second and subsequent loads 
of konqueror, giving error messages about "client <insert extended ascii 
symbols here>". Sometimes when going back to the console, all of the text 
output on the console subsequent to the error message would be extended ascii 
symbols... very wierd.

I dismissed it as just me... but maybe it's not? Should I try to get some more 
solid details, anyone also seeing this?

Cheers,

Hamish.

PS this is with XF4.2, custom build.
