I started klauncher from the command line and got this response:

[charshaw at simba charshaw]$ klauncher
klauncher: This program is not supposed to be started manually.
klauncher: It is started automatically by kdeinit.

Then I tried running kdeinit from the command line:

[charshaw at simba charshaw]$ kdeinit
---------------------------------
It looks like dcopserver is already running. If you are sure
that it is not already running, remove 
/home/charshaw/.DCOPserver_simba.penguinsolutions.org__0
and start dcopserver again.
---------------------------------

kbuildsycoca running...


Now my Konqueror is running -- but I would still like to learn what 
happened and why (and if this is going to be a recurring problem)?

Thanks,
Clint
