I type xinit or startx A LOT, until, finally, KDE is up and running. After the first time I can exit KDE, log out, log in or out as root or normal user, and do various other things and KDE starts on the first try, until I reboot. I get the following error message when I boot: "Could not read network connection list /root/.DECOPserver__:0 Please check that the "dcopserver" program is running."
