is iceauth on your system? which iceauth returns /usr/X11R6/bin/iceauth here. are there any other kde apps which also fail? please also commit the output of 'emerge info' and 'emerge -s xfree'

does 'ls -la /usr/X11R6/bin/iceauth' return anything? does 'env | grep PATH' contains /usr/X11R6/bin?
ls -la /usr/X11R6/bin/iceauth -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 23716 Dec 6 19:11 /usr/X11R6/bin/iceauth env | grep PATH' contains /usr/X11R6/bin > The last one just sites there and brings me to that indent arrow that you see above...
Just say env | grep PATH without the last apostrophe ...
env | grep PATH CLASSPATH=/opt/blackdown-jdk-1.4.1_beta/jre/lib/rt.jar:. MANPATH=/opt/blackdown-jdk-1.4.1_beta/man:/usr/share/man:/usr/local/share/man PATH=/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin
Well that PATH really doesn't contain /usr/X11R6/bin. Look for the cause of that. For example, is there a PATH=/usr/X11R6/bin entry in one of the files in /etc/env.d? Does /usr/X11R6/bin show up in the PATH setting in /etc/profile.env? Is your shell a login shell?
I see exactly the same problem: When run from the command line ksensors gives: sim@milliways:~>ksensors ERROR: KUniqueApplication: DCOP communication error! Then a KDE crash handler pops up with the following: (no debugging symbols found)...(no debugging symbols found)... (no debugging symbols found)...[New Thread 16384 (LWP 20738)] (no debugging symbols found)... (no debugging symbols found)...(no debugging symbols found)...

With the 3.1rc's the same problem would happen the first time ksensors was loaded (usually whilst KDE was restoring the session after login) but would always load the second time. Now, with 3.1, it never works. I have tried re-emerging it. Sim
Simon (Comment #8), I think your bug is different. What version of lm_sensors/i2c do you have installed. There is a similar bug for ksim (http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=51951). I have exactly the same problem with both ksim and ksensors, I'm yet to try the patch in that bug though
try "ksensors -nodock"
What's the current status on this? leonardb, if you're sitll having this problem please try my suggetions from Comment #7. Simeon, try the suggestion from Comment #10 or the patch for lm_sensors from the linked kde.org bug.
Closing as a NEEDINFO - no response in 6 weeks from last question. Sounds like it's not really a bug (at least on the gentoo end).
great assumption .. duh.. .. i have since left the use of kde as a desktop ..
