           Summary: kde apps should find a way to start even with no dbus
                    session server
           Product: kdelibs
           Version: 4.1
          Platform: SuSE RPMs
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: kdelibs-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: knuckles at gmail.com


Version:            (using KDE 4.1.3)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    SuSE RPMs

Today I was trying to start dolphin as another user on my pc and I got the now
usual:
<unknown program name>(17812)/: KUniqueApplication: Cannot find the D-Bus
session server

<unknown program name>(17811)/: KUniqueApplication: Pipe closed unexpectedly.

(This also happens when I do things like ssh -X)

In kde 4 most apps depend one way or another on dbus running, so I was
thinking: is it possible for apps to spawn a dbus server when needed, like they
did with dcop? Is there another way around this?

I know I can do export `dbus-launch` or something like that, but for new users
that might not be so obvious (i.e. "what the hell is DBUS!?").
