Ah, I see :(

And anyway: If it isn't possible to just run a kde app without beforehand
starting a bunch of servers (I have read about some further, which might
be needed), then I am really a bit "upset" of kde.

KDE applications start necessary services themselves, provided that the
installation is not broken or, as in your case, incomplete by design.

As the -dopcserver switch is already standard to all kde apps, then
shouldn't it be standard to have something like "-dcopserver none"
to switch it off, for any unforseable situations like this one?

Hmm, well, one of the system invariants of a KDE system is that there is a
DCOP server running.

If an application is just exporting a DCOP interface and not using one
directly or indireclty it might work to have such an option, but I guess
nobody as ever requested such a feature yet

Cheers,
Kevin
