--- Comment #42 from reakce.sem at centrum.cz ---
Either these are to separate issues, or title and most of the comments are
misleading.

As suggested per https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=264020#c31. Rerunning
kdeinit4 would make this work also for current logged in session/user. It
happens to seem to work for root, because by changing user new session
(kdeinit, klauncher, kded, and dbus) is created. Using any other user but root
works just fine as well. On the other hand, logging in (KDM) as root, root
cannot access files over PTP via kio_kamera as described, but su - anyuser and
run "kioclient ls 'camera:/'"... works like a charm. I am reasonably certain
permissions play no role in this case.

Unfortunately I am not very versed in topics DBus and debugging thereof, so I
could only help by providing details upon request. My very wild guess would be
timing issue (kdeinit (its children)/DBus), race during session creation.

These observations are made with up to date patched Slack 14.1. (i.e. KDE
4.10.5, gphoto 2.5.2, dbus 1.6.12).
