not being able to communicate with D-BUS under both a normal user and
root, and cut and pasted error messages I was able to produce into the
mail messages, and get no response to any of them. I have even been in
the situation where, in a tty session, I as able to get an empty blue
screen on KDE4 startup with no taskbar, desktop icons or anything else,
and running ldconfig after update-alternatives following the discussion
around the nvidia issues I had with you and Anssi, stopped KDE4 from
being able get as far as displaying this empty screen. I verified that
the Messagebus service was running and dismissed this as being an issue,
on seeing messages logged that indicated that kde3 and associated apps
were communicating with dbus quite happily. Hence not being able to
determine where the problem was myself, and not being able to get
assistance, I gave up and uninstalled KDE4 and went looking for the kde3
versions of the tools that are useful to me. Now I am being told that I
can't necessarily get them because they are only being built for an
environment that for me won't run.
