           Summary: kcminit not installed in Meego and Mer images causes
                    20s delays ksmserver startup
           Product: Active
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Meego/Harmattan
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: General
        AssignedTo: active at kde.org
        ReportedBy: lamarque at kde.org


Version:           unspecified (using KDE 4.8.0) 
OS:                Linux

kcminit is not installed in Meego and Mer images, at least in the images
created by basysKom. Ksmserver tries to contact kcminit through dbus during
startup with a 10s timeout, which is always reached according to a debug
messages in ~/.xsession-errors. After the first 10s timeout kcmserver, launches
klauncher and tries to contact kcminit again with another 10s timeout, which is
also reached. In the end ksmserver has a 20s startup because of that.

This can also be the cause of some the problems we have with klauncher and dbus
since we started to use startactive. That can also be the cause of two kded
running during startup.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Enable debug messages using kdebugdialog.
2. Reboot the system.
3. Check the messages like "ksmserver(439) KSMServer::kcmPhase1Timeout: Kcminit
phase 1 timeout" and "ksmserver(439) KSMServer::kcmPhase2Timeout: Kcminit phase
2 timeout" in ~/.xsession-errors.

Actual Results:  
ksmserver starts with a 20s delay, klauncher is started by ksmserver with a 10s
delay. Maybe those delays causes the problems with dbus and klauncher too, or
even with kded frozen sometimes.

Expected Results:  
No delay in ksmserver and klauncher startups.

kcminit seems disabled in all Meego and Mer images, maybe because of the mobile
profile used to compile kde-workspace.
