Plus after raising my issues other people raised issues about the same
messages from KDE4 apps under root, which opened a discussion on the
issue. But up to the point where I gave up and removed KDE4 no KDE4
update had resolved the issue of KDE4 not being able to start, although
some of the KDE4 app issues had been randomly resolved in that sometimes
they worked and sometimes they didn't. I have also in the past raised
problems where the only response was that the problem was being closed
because it was old. Ignoring this before raising a bug report meaningful
information needs to be supplied to assist with diagnosis, and if the
reporter doesn't know where to look for the info, or can't find anything
that looks like it might be an indicator of where the error is, then
assistance is required and if the ML is not the place to ask for
assistance where is? It took me ages to find that when trying to start
KDE4 from a tty session that the only place the message about the D-BUS
failure was being logged was in .xsession-errors, and that when exiting
from the tty back to the dm, and then into KDE3 that .xsession-errors
was being cleared out.
