"setting up interprocess communication" freeze

[Rocci]

I was having the EXACT same problem after upgrading to kde3.3
After tearing my hair out all day, and searching the web, I discovered 
that by disabling the "RenderAccel" Option in my XFree86 config file, 
kde would start OK.
Then within minutes I found this solution had been posted at kde-linux !
Doh !!
Next time I'll make sure I search both mailing lists.
