When I do = startx& to start KDE from the cygwin bash shell, I get the following = error: DCOPClient::attachInternal. Attach failed Authentication Rejected, = reason : None of the authentication protocols specified are supported = and host-based authentication failed ICE Connection rejected! I have write permissions on my $HOME. I do not have a .ICEauthority in = my home directory, I think KDE crashes before it is created. Thanks in advance for your help. -------------------------------------------------------------------------= Yuvraj Singh Dhillon Graduate Research Assistant School of Electrical and Computer Engineering Georgia Institute of Technology Atlanta, GA 30332 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------=_NextPart_000_0028_01C5357E.17B44A10 Content-Type: text/html; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable
