[kde-solaris] Fatal communication error with a client

[André Schneider]

Hi Stefan,

Thank you - it works now. After first log out a reboot
was necessary. Now the startup logfile doesn't contain
any error messages.

I guess the twice login is needed after each reboot - so
fixing this bug would be helpful for the future.

/André
