I installed Fink and KDE, but I get the following error whenever I try to start KDE:

No write access to '/Users/dave/.ICEauthority'

The initial KDE startup box comes up for a few seconds, and then I get the error.
My .xinitrc file is:
source /sw/bin/init.sh
/sw/bin/startkde


Root is not enabled, and my only login on this computer is "dave". I'm not much of a unix person, but can I simply reset the permissions to the ICEauthority file? If so, how do I do this?

Thanks.

Try running this in your home directory:

chmod 600 .ICEauthority
chown dave.staff .ICEauthority

That will make it owned by you and readable/writeable by you.

Thanks a lot! KDE works now.
