I tried, from memory, but didn't get it right.  Last night someone told me 
what I should have done, but I had a crash and seem to have lost that message 
altogether.  I think it was something like 'dcop kicker kicker restart'.  
Perhaps the person in question could either confirm that I have it right, or 
re-send the original one, please?  I had marked it Important and attached my 
reply to it.  Both are missing.
