Comment 2 for bug 199438

I tracked it down to src/amarok.c. The plugin, if set to auto, polls every now and then, and if dcopserver is not running, then the call at line 25 eventually fails, but doesn't set any kind of state that dcop isn't running.

C is not strong with me--I'm not sure of the best way to tell if a process is running other than to check a pidfile or parse ps output.
