DCOP Communications error (linux)

This morning I was being lazy and just wanted to boot indo kde to check a website rather than turn on my other comptuer (I use my linux box headless usually for command line stuff)

Anyway, I get an error when I try to get into KDE, Gnome, and in Blackbox anytime I use any of the "kprograms" such as terminal.

Here is the error window's contents

Code:

---


There was some error setting up inter-process communications for KDE.  The message returned by the system was:

Could not read network connection list.
/home/MYUSERNAME/.DCOPserver_dhcppc3_:0

Please check that the dcopserver is running

---

The MYUSERNAME was changed by me,a nd the dhcppc3 is given to me by my router.

This seems to be a somewhat common problem

From what i understand about the problem, the permissions will reset

Well, I can manage to fix them when I reboot (which is only about once a month)

edit: Oh, and I did try the old Google search, but I didn't think to put that much in the request.

Thanks Ranger

One of those articles said that starting kde as root was the cause of this mess. I guess there must be others though, as I have never (well, not in years) logged into kde as root
