    Hello,
    I have to run a kde application (kmix) remotely on a non-X, non kde
    system.
    I don't want to install big packets there, as I want to run this kmix
    one-time only,
    and the system shall actually stay damm small.
    What I did is:
    I copied kmix and all needed shared libs (ldd) to the remote system,
    added the shared libs directory to LD_LIBRARY_PATH, set DISPLAY
    to my local host and started the kmix.
    Result: kmix didn't start due to missing DCPserver. Then I found
    the -dcopserver switch available for all kde applications, but the
    proposed syntax (first line from ~/.DCPserver*) doesn't address
    the need to use a remote one.
    However, I have read, that a different dcop server is needed for each
    display,
    so it should be possible to use a remote dcop server in order to use a
    remote
    display. But how to do it, or in other words:
    What is the syntax for the -dcopserver argument to contact a remote dcop
    server,
    and are there any other things I should take into account?
    Many thanks for any helpful answers beforehand,
    Thomas

    Wouldn't it be better to use a commandline mixer like alsamixer?

    DCP handles it transport through the ICE library, which might be able to
    handle remote connections as well. However I guess DCP registers a local
    connection, i.e. libICE creates a unix socket, very likely for security
    reasons.

    Cheers,
