          Platform: openSUSE RPMs

install logs from todays zypper dup 

Version:           unspecified (using KDE 4.7.1) 
OS:                Linux

Root-mode applications (kate & krusader) crash apparently because dbus is not
started first.  This happens both in GUI and CLI modes.  Dolphin in super-user
mode starts properly.  Haven't tried other programs.

This is in openSUSE 12.1 and has occurred in all the milestones.  I submitted
bug #702247 to them. 

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
>From cli, enter "krusader" (w/o quotes).  It then displays an error message
about needing to enter "export $(dbus-launch)".  
after that krusader or kate will run in root-mode.

Actual Results:  
Error about either session bus (since todays zypper dup) or dbus-launch (before
today).  

When "export $(dbus-launch)" is entered the apps run properly in root-mode. 

Expected Results:  
The apps should start up in either GUI or CLI w/o needing export command.

******* cli message after crash ********

root at desktop-linux1= /home/tom # krusader
KGlobal::locale::Warning your global KLocale is being recreated with a valid
main component instead of a fake component, this usually means you tried to
call
i18n related functions before your main component was created. You should not
do
that since it most likely will not work
krusader(9170)/kdeui (kdelibs): Session bus not found
To circumvent this problem try the following command (with Linux and bash)
export $(dbus-launch)
