[arch-general] KDE stoped working

[Nicolas Bigaouette]

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

Why can't kded4 connect to my dbus??
