Subject: How to recover from a system hang that trashed KDE control file
Suse 9, KDE, User Session

My system hung solid (no intervention session possible) running k3b
requiring a system reset to get back in (I know, bad thing to do). After
restart, the user session was not restartable because .DCOPserver_linux__0
gets "permission denied" during X startup/login. You can login Mode 3 but
you cannot even "ls" the user's Home directory as user without getting the
"permission denied" message. Root can issue the "ls" and see the
.DCOP....... file by name but cannot "rm" it or copy over it with last
week's backup copy. I can see the permissions in the backup copy of the
file to see what they should be in the "active" version.

Any suggestions of how to change the "active" file permissions or overwrite
with the backup copy?
