That sounds like there is no D-Bus session bus running for the remote session.

You can start one for the single application in question by starting the app 
like this:

dbus-launch ktimetracker

Often I'd like to have the option of using multple SSH connections in parallel 
so I create a session environment file when logging in with the first one

echo $DISPLAY > sessionenv
dbus-launch >> sessionenv

Then this file can be sourced in any SSH session. Conveniently this also means 
that none of the additional SSH connects needs to have X fowarding enabled, 
since application started through them will be forwarded through the first 
connection as well.

Cheers,
Kevin
