Thanx for the suggestion. That did fixed it. The problem was with the initrd, which needed to be rebuilt! Thanx a lot ;) 2009/5/28 Juan Diego <juantascon@gmail.com>
I used to have the same problem, what I did is this:
1. reinstall kde:
pacman -S kde
2. recreate the kms initcpio in my case (your case could be different):
mkinitcpio -p kernel26-kms
3. install xf86-video-intel-newest from aur
Im not sure which step was the one that actually fix it, but now Im running kde fine
I hope it works for you too
Good luck

I tried putting "xterm" only in my .xinitrc.
Once xterm is launched (without window management..., but otherwise works fine), if I launch manually /usr/lib/kde4/libexec/klauncher it tells me I should not run that manually, that it is started automatically by kdeinit4.
If I then try /usr/bin/kded4, I get the same error as reported earlier:
kded(7702): Communication problem with "kded" , it probably crashed. Error message was: "org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply" : " "Message did not receive a reply (timeout by message bus)" "
Running "startkde" from the xterm I get:
startkde: Starting up... kdeinit4: preparing to launch /usr/lib/kde4/libexec/klauncher kdeinit4: preparing to launch /usr/bin/kded4 kded(10731): Communication problem with "kded" , it probably crashed. Error message was: "org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply" : " "Message did not receive a reply (timeout by message bus)" "
kdeinit4: preparing to launch /usr/bin/kcminit_startup kdeinit4: preparing to launch /usr/bin/ksmserver startkde: Shutting down... klauncher: Exiting on signal 1 startkde: Running shutdown scripts... startkde: Done.
Why can't kded4 connect to my dbus??

this suggests kded didn't run .. maybe try to start it manually and see where it breaks .. or even better start with xterm only and run each kde component one by one.
