I had a similar problem, and traced it to the fact that the DCOPserver
was trying to open some log file somewhere under /tmp/.....  (I think it
might have been /tmp/dcopserver, but I can't check right now 'cos that
PC is at home)  Anyway, I set the perms on that directory to 777, and
after that it worked.  If you are more security conscious than me you
might want to be more careful about this, but 777 is fine for me on a
desktop machine.

HTH,
