A few days ago, after an apt-get upgrade, konqueror wouldn't properly
start anymore. Error output is:
grundler@debian:~$ konqueror 
_KDE_IceTransmkdir: Owner of /tmp/.ICE-unix should be set to root
ICE Connection rejected!

DCOPClient::attachInternal. Attach failed Authentication Rejected, reason : None of the authentication protocols specified are supported and host-based authentication failed

I tried starting dcopserver by itself and got similar output:
grundler@debian:~$ dcopserver
_KDE_IceTransmkdir: Owner of /tmp/.ICE-unix should be set to root
ICE Connection rejected!

DCOPClient::attachInternal. Attach failed Authentication Rejected, reason : None of the authentication protocols specified are supported and host-based authentication failed

grundler@debian:~$ 


Something is wrong with dcopserver and/or how it uses iceauth.
If anyone has ideas on how to track this down besides using
strace, I'm interested. Using strace w/o the "-f" didn't help me
and w/-f it hung the kernel.
