It seems like some sort of simlink issue.
Could be several things. Have you tried just creating ~/.kde? It seems that totem believes it's in a KDE environment and is wrong. Also, do a find ~ -name "*mcop*" -exec ls {} \; and see if there might be an mcop file owned by (for instance) root that totem running as you is unable to delete or overwrite. -- Carl Fink [EMAIL PROTECTED] Read my blog at nitpickingblog.blogspot.com.
