KDE Tips
Trouble Shooting
Can't create mcopy directory
This usually happens where you're not using KDE, but using a KDE application. It is because it expects directories ~/.kde and /tmp/ksocket-${USER} to be world readable.
Usually creating these using mkdir or chmod them appropriately, fixes the problem.
$ mkdir ~/.kde /tmp/ksocket-${USER}
$ chmod 755 ~/.kde /tmp/ksocket-${USER}
