But you use a systemd based distribution, not sysv. As dcopserver leaves it's imprint in the users home directory I wonder if it gets started for TDM for root and is left over when your user session starts (that "seat" thingie). I have a different situation: two instances of dcopserver are running, the "footprint" in the users home directory is: .DCOPserver_neo_:0 -> /home/nik/.DCOPserver_neo__0 .DCOPserver_neo__0 .DCOPserver_neo_:1 -> /home/nik/.DCOPserver_neo__1 .DCOPserver_neo__1 .. where the "0" links are created before the "1" links, but the "0" dcopserver is nonresponsive till the "1" has finished it's startup. twm talks to the "1", but mouse+keyboard talk to the "0" --> everything works but mouse and keyboard - which is kind of bad.
