Set

	StartServer=false

in the following file

$ less  $HOME/.kde2/share/config/kcmartsrc
[Arts]
AddOptions=
Arguments=\s-F 10 -S 4096 -s 60 -m artsmessage -l 3 -f
AudioIO=
AutoSuspend=true
Bits=0

FullDuplex=false
Latency=250
LoggingLevel=3
MessageApplication=artsmessage
NetworkTransparent=false
SamplingRate=0

!!!StartServer=false

BTW: We are looking for someone who can take a look at this problem and perhaps
can give us a hint how to fix this problem.
