FreeBSD 4.4-RELEASE FreeBSD 4.4-RELEASE #4: Fri Feb 8 CST 2002 root@: /usr/src/sys/compile/HOME i286    
>Description:
 After booting the machine it takes numerous (10 or more) tries to initialize the X server.  I type xinit or startx A LOT, until, finally, KDE is up and running.  After the first time I can exit KDE, log out, log in or out as root or normal user, and do various other things and KDE starts on the first try, until I reboot.
I get the following error message when I boot:

  "Could not read network connection list
    /root/.DECOPserver__:0
   Please check that the "dcopserver" program is running."

Apparently the "dcopserver" is running, or else KDE would never start.
     
>How-To-Repeat:
   Cold boot or warm reboot.
>Fix:
      Beats me!

 I can not figure how it's a configuration problem.  After initial =
 installation, or recompiling the kernel, KDE starts with no problem.  It =
 is a progressive problem in that,  with use, it takes longer and longer =
 to get the X-Server to initiate.  The command line error message is "The =
 D_Cop server is failing self-test".

 It seems that I have several options: (1) go back to my antiquated =

 Redmond's offerings, none of which are appealing. =20
