Permissions, $PATH? It'd seem that if a file were there, and <something> can't 
find it, then <something> either doesn't have permission to see/use it, or 
doesn't know how to get to it.

HTH,

PS Wasn't the KDE2 fix to remove the mcop-<user>, ksocket-<user> and 
kde-<user> files in /tmp, and not /tmp, then remove the .DCOP* file(s) in 
~/.kde2?
If that failed, then mv .kde2 to .kde<something>, keeping the rc files around 
so that they can be copied back to your new .kde2 directory.
