It allows programs to exchange sytem messages such as "Are you running, if so open a new window/tab with this document please". This error message is sometimes seen when there are permission problems with respect to the directories where the different programs/processes write their authorisation data. Or it could have just been that at that time the DCOP server on your system was locked by another program. Can you reproduce the symptom? -- Tony Dietrich ------------- October 12, the Discovery.
