Where do you see DCOP errors?  Since I use a *dm, I never see any
errors printed on the console etc...  XFree86.0.log provides no
clues either.

FAM can run standalone too.  I don't always use it and things
work perfectly fine.

Running konqueror in an aterm yields (after starting fam as root):

kio (KDirWatch): KDirWatch processing FAM event (FAMChanged, .xwm.msgs, Req 1)
kio (KDirWatch): KDirWatch emitting fileDirty /home/will/.xwm.msgs
