           Summary: KDE applications don't work over remote X connections
           Product: kde
           Version: 4.6
          Platform: Ubuntu Packages
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: crash
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: unassigned-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: andreas at pietzowski.de


Version:           4.6 (using Devel) 
OS:                Linux

When I connect to my computer over "ssh -X <IP>" I can start almost every
graphical application like xeyes and thunderbird e.g. But KDE applications quit
immediately due to a dbus problem.

This bug exists at least since KDE 4.5! Would be nice to see this fixed soon
because normally KDE is very prod of its network transparancy.

Reproducible: Didn't try

Steps to Reproduce:
First off, don't use KDE on both sides! In my case I have an apple laptop with
XQuartz installed and I want to get a KDE window to my mac from a remote KDE
machine. ssh -X to my KDE desktop though.

Try to start xeyes - it starts up and shows the "window" on my Mac. KDE
applications simply just quit!

Actual Results:  
This error message is reported on the remote shell:

unnamed app(4369): KUniqueApplication: Cannot find the D-Bus session server:  
"Failed to connect to socket /tmp/dbus-jg4voufHiB: Connection refused" 
unnamed app(4368): KUniqueApplication: Pipe closed unexpectedly.

Expected Results:  
A nicely popping-up KDE window :)
