KDEInit could not launch '/tmp/.wmanager'.

what happened?

sounds like a 'DCOP' bug. please try the fix which i posted some time ago:
http://ponce.cc/porteus/i486/current/Porteus-1.1-fixes

as far as i can see from alpha build of Trinity-3.5.13 provided by brokenman this bug will finally be gone in next release

Yes the DCOP error has been dealt with in next release.

Please verify that the /tmp/.wmanager file was created during boot. What is the output of:
file /tmp/.wmanager

there's no such file "/tmp/.wmanager" ....

If this file is absent, some applications may not works correctly as this symlink is linked to default file manager of your current Desktop.

Please have a look at /opt/porteus-scripts/path

ok, i know the reason. since i usually boot into text mode (telinit~3) and then run startx. in this case, KDEinit could not launch the file /tmp/.wmanager, it's not exist.

if i boot into kde directly (telinit~4), then the file /tmp/.wmanager will be there.

In the next version this symlink will not exist. Fanthom has come up with a more elegant solution.
