I have fixed such a problem that happened if dcopserver couldn't read from
the .DCOPserver_blah file. In my case it was because I set the charset
to UTF-16, and qtextstream couldn't read the file. In your case it seems to be
that the .DCOPserver_blah file gets overwritten by the second session.
This should NOT happen since the filename contains the hostname
and the display name - which wasn't the case in 2.0, so on the contrary
I would expect 2.0 to have this bug, not 2.1.1.
Can you check what happens to the ~/.DCOPserver* files ?
