I ran into a rather serious problem with DCOP.

What seemed to have happened is the following:

knotify did a system("aplay somefile") and got stuck on that for some reason.
As a result knotify didn't handle incoming DCOP request any more.
This caused the DCOP server to lock up on a write() call as part of a 
ICESendMessage (probably after it's buffer filled up with other requests).
Result: a total lockup of the desktop.

It's unacceptable that the DCOPserver brings down the entire desktop due to 
one hanging application!!!!

Cheers,
Waldo
