I am getting the same message and have similar problems. I didn't have those problems in the beginning, but they started a week ago. Prior to this problem I have worked on my firewall, installed clamav and antivir. I am mentioning it because I don't know what other information to provide and maybe other 'victims' did similar things.
Besides the message 'The process for the system protocol died unexpectedly.', most notably Konqueror starts extremely slow (>3 minutes) and I have problem with launching the System Panel. Any help is appreciated! If somebody knows what information would be helpful I will provide it.
