A guess for me would be to check your /tmp directory you should have a directory with the following name and permissions: drwxrwxrwt 2 root wheel 512 Jul 27 07:02 .X11-unix The t on the end is a "sticky bit" and the chmod mask to use is the following; as root: chmod 1777 /tmp/.X11-unix I am not sure if any of this will actually help you or not but KDE uses another layer called .ICE [through qt most likely]. This is used for their DCOP server which is a wrapper around the basic X IPC services. Because your errors are showing an inability to connect I suspect that socket connections to the X server [a socket is represented by a file most likely in the /tmp/.X11-unix directory] cannot be established due to the lack of read/write permissions and possibly the "sticky bit". I know if the /tmp/.ICE-unix file doesn't have the right permissions KDE certainly won't work. :) Hope I was helpful...
