KDE uses DCOPserver for all computers.  Which version of Qt do you have 
installed?  Sometimes this error can be due to having an old version of Qt.

How are you trying to start KDE?  Are you using startx or kdm (or xdm)?  Are 
you starting it as root?

Also, which version of KDE are you using?  KDE 2.2.1 had a problem with this 
that is fixed in later versions.
