           Summary: .ICEauthority problems can prevent KDE start, etc.
           Product: kde
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: unspecified
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: unassigned-bugs kde org
        ReportedBy: d_baron 012 net il


Version:           unknown (using 4.00.85 (KDE 4.0.85 (KDE 4.1 >= 20080703)), Debian packages)
Compiler:          cc
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.23-rt1-davidb

Often enough, after normal KDE shutdown or control/back restart, .ICEauthority has been changed to root:root!!!
and the lock files may still be around as well.

1. KDE3 or KDE4 will now not start because it has no write-permission.
2. dcopserver, if needed, will not start, because of permissions or the lock files.
