[kde-solaris] Fatal communication error with a client

[Stefan Teleman]

Hi.

Please check the following:

if /opt/kde-3.1.4/bin/artsd is instaled setuid root, change the 
permissions to non-setuid root (0755).

Log out, then log back into KDE. Chances are you will get an error 
message from artsd, something to the effect of "assertion failed, 
moduleName != "" -- click OK, and just ignore it. 

Log out of KDE.

Log back into KDE. You should not be seeing any error messages now, 
neither the "Fatal communication with a client" from DCOP in 
/tmp/${USER}-startkde, nor the "assertion failed" one. artsd should 
start fine, and you should hear the KDE startup chimes.

This is a problem when artsd is installed setuid root. I'm trying to 
figure out what causes it.

Let me know!
