Due to the kind help of Jeremy Norris and John Cooper in private E-Mails I now have FAM running properly out of inetd. This has solved many of the error messages that I was seeing at the initial run up of KDE, but the DCOP problem remains. Apparently the two problems are unrelated. Before I get into the DCOP thing, here's the basic fix for FAM. Add the following to /etc/rpc sgi_fam 391002 Add the following to /etc/inetd.conf sgi_fam/1-2 stream rpc/tcp wait root /usr/local/bin/fam fam Then type... killall -HUP inetd This gets FAM working very nicely and all, but I'm still getting the following DCOP error as I type in kcontrol. # kcontrol kcontrol: Found basegroup = Settings/ ERROR: KUniqueApplication: DCOP communication error! Still dead in the water over here so far as KDE is concerned. I'm still mucking around with it, but not seeing any effect to the errors described. Been asking folks on IRC about this, but nobody seems to be having this problem on the Linux side of the house. BTW, are there any plans for adding to the default config files for FreeBSD to account for these FAM changes that I had to do? Even when I finally get my copy of KDE going here, having to do all these file edits is really going to suck for the next guy. It seems there's some changes needed for a more elegant solution that goes beyond the scope of the ports tree, and certainly over my head. Ideally a user should be able to simply do a "make install" for kde2 and not have to worry about configuring what is sure to be a rather obscure dependancy for most folks. I haven't a clue how something like this would be properly dealt with, but I thought I'd mention it as a fairly major usability issue.
