Problem starting dcopserver?

[Martin Whybrow]

Unable to start KDE, so using KDE3 startup debug procedure http://kde-cygwin.sourceforge.net/kde3/faq.php#debug_kde3

Cygwin installed and running OK
X starts and runs, running twm confirms this.
Relevant components:
Cygwin 1.5.7-1
kdebase 1.1.2-b1
kdebase-3 3-3.1.4-1
kdelibs 1.1.2-b1
kdelibs-3 3-3.1.4-3
kdemisc 1.1.2-b1
kdesupport 1.1.2-b1
kdeutils 1.1.2-b1
qt 1.45-b1
qt-3-gcc3 3-gcc3-3.2.3-3
XFree86-base 4.3.0-1
XFree86-bin 4.3.0-9
XFree86-bin-icons 4.3.0-6
XFree86-etc 4.3.0-6
XFree86-lib 4.3.0-1
XFree86-startup-scripts 4.2.0-5
XFree86-xserv 4.3.0-50

Problems show up at stage 3, starting dcopserver; I get:
 _KDE_IceTransmkdir: Owner of /tmp/.ICE-unix should be set to root

and no other messages
Dcopserver appears to be running as dcopserver --serverid gives:
local/P3550:/tmp/.ICE-unix/dcop1725293-1078272184

ls /tmp/.ICE-unix/  -l gives: 
srw-r--r--    1 Martin W unknown        51 Mar  2 21:37 dcop1168997-1078263441 
srw-r--r--    1 Martin W unknown        51 Mar  2 20:24 dcop1898677-1078259068

ls -al ~/.DCOP* gives:
-rw-r--r--    1 Martin-W unknown        62 Mar  4 23:32 /home/Martin-Whybrow/.DCOPserver_P3550_127.0.0.1_0
-rw-r--r--    1 Martin-W unknown        58 Mar  2 20:24 /home/Martin-Whybrow/.DCOPserver_P3550__0

If I attempt to proceed further, I simply see many failure messages from kdeinit.

Any further suggestions for debugging this?
Thanks,

Martin.
