Try to start KDE3 session after upgrade to libICE6-1.0.10-1.1:
[quote]There was an error setting up inter-process communications for KDE. The message returned by the system was: Could not read network connection list: /root/.DCOPserver_gx27c_0 Please check that the "dcopserver" program is running. [/quote]
Reverting to libICE6-1.0.9-4.7 on host gx27c via rpmrebuild on host gx280 restored access to a working KDE3 session.
