Will,

  At this point I'm having a heck of a time getting KDE 2.2 to play
nice.  The compile appears to have gone well, but whenever I try
launching a KDE application I'm getting DCOP communication errors.
  I went in and renamed/deleted the following from my home directory...

.DCOP*
.MCOP*
.kde
.kderc
.mcoprc
.mcop

  I also went and made sure that I didn't have anything in /tmp related
to that user.  Stuff like ksocket-user and such.  After doing all that,
still getting DCOP errors.  Seems to be doing the exact same thing when
logged in as root.
  On the suggestion of a user on IRC I went and reinstalled kdebase from
a fresh source file I downloaded from ftp.kde.org.  A whole bunch of
compiling later, same problems.
  I noticed that KDE 2.2 now does some stuff with FAM.  I'm seeing some
errors as KDE gets going stating that various apps are unable to read
FAM.  From what I read in the man page, FAM should be getting started
within inetd, though I haven't a clue what the config line in there
should look like.  I tried running FAM as root manually, then launching
KDE as a regular user, but I still see errors relating to FAM not being
found.  Might DCOP be dumping out because FAM isn't properly running as
an inetd service?

  Well, at this point though I can get to a desktop but KDE is pretty
much dead here.  Here's what all I'm running...
