Why does it want to use /tmp/mcop-<username> ? Shouldn't it be using 
/tmp/mcop-root?

Anyway, mcoputils is full with arts_fatal() calls which call "exit(1)" instead 
of reporting the error to the caller and letting the application continue 
without sound. There haven't been any recent changes there though.

Wasn't there a patch for arts recently to let it use getpwent instead of 
getenv("LOGNAME") ? mcoputils still uses LOGNAME.

See http://lists.kde.org/?l=kde-multimedia&m=104028588424794&w=2

No idea why that hasn't gone in. I have commited it now to the 3.1 branch and 
HEAD.

Cheers,
Waldo
