The error message "tdelauncher dcoperver " comes from the directory : "/run/user/1000/ICEauthority" rights rw, if the owner of this file becomes root:root. It must be "andre:andre". If I change it, the error message disappears.
Hi André,
It looks like you have tracked the problem to a point where I cannot help you much. Only a root process can change an andre-owned directory to root-owned. TDM and X may be running as root but all of TDE proper should be running as andre unless and until you deliberately start something as root such as a root konsole.
I would try to figure out whether the directory is created with the correct owner and/or what is changing it. That's probably not going to be easy. A couple of tricks which may or may not help:
(1) After the directory is in a good state "chattr +i ..." it and see if anything later complains when it tries to change the owner. Be sure to undo this later or it may create more problems.
(2) Create a little script to run in a loop in a konsole to check the directory every second and alert you when the ownership has changed.
